This is my first time posting on SDN, so my apologies if I made any mistakes.
1. I took a quarter-long seminar class where we developed and executed a research project with a professor. At the end, we wrote an abstract that was accepted at a national conference and presented by the professor as a poster. The professor said she was going to include all of our names as authors and that we could include it on our CVs, but when I look up the abstract in the official conference proceedings online it only has the professor’s name on it. Should I not include it on my AMCAS application since my name doesn’t show up on the abstract online? Also, I’m wondering if I can’t include it because the research was done as part of a class.
2. For the actual research lab I was part of, I’m the second author on a paper that was accepted to bioRxiv as a preprint (not peer-reviewed) back in 2022. I ended up leaving the lab a few months later, and the paper was never published in a peer-reviewed journal. Is this worth including or could it make me seem like I don’t follow things through to the finish?
If I don’t include either of these, then I only have a presentation at my school’s undergraduate research conference from my research lab to show for my research productivity. Thank you for any advice about whether to include those on my application!
