How much does that actually hold weight? I was chatting with an MD/PhD student today who said it would be valuable to network as some PIs can sway admissions committees, particularly if they want you to come work with them. Is that true at all?
Additionally, does having ties to an MSTP program (i.e. doing research there) help at all? I've been doing research and Penn and Harvard and would love to apply there, but my stats are far below median. Another student told me that almost everyone he knows was accepted to programs where they previously did research, is that more correlation than causation?
