Hey guys,
My school has an Undergrad Research Conference where I have the opportunity to give a poster presentation on our preliminary data and have the abstract published in the schools undergrad journal.
My question: is it worth it? How much better odes this look than not have anything to show? By the time I apply I'll have worked this position for over a year, put in tons of hours, and have been an integral part of the project. But at the time of application, I most likely will have nothing tangible to show for it other than the "we're probably publishing next year."
I ask because the conference is 2 weeks before I plan to take my MCATs.
Thanks!
