So looking at MSAR and looking at California medical schools, it's pretty hard not to notice that almost every school has 90%+ matriculants with research. My goal is to stay and California, and I'm having a hard time deciding whether or not it's worth it to research just to get accepted into the UC system. I'm really not interested in research and I feel like I shouldn't do it for that reason but, in order to stay in Cali, and getting into some top-tier schools, would you guys recommend just "sucking it up" and doing a semester or two of research to show something for that part of the application?
