Hi,
I graduated with a master in Biochemistry and I am currently working full-time in an immunology lab. I pretty much work 7 days a week and on average 10 hours a day. I barely did any thing like community service or other volunteer activity.
My current position is research volunteer, so I think this still counts toward research experience instead of volunteer experience? Is the medical school going to question me because I have little to none community service hours?
I couldn't leave my current volunteer position because one of our papers is getting ready and hopefully can be submitted this September. I am working with another post-doc on an related topic which will result another publication. My own independent project was in hell, but recently my targeted RNA-seq showed some promises. (Through my research experience, I made certain that I love research but do not want to make it my career, and I decided not to pursue a Ph.D in Immunology)
Mean time, I am planning taking night course for MCAT. (I kinda have to)
Thank you for your time and help.
