You're welcome. Was your poster presentation at your school, regional conference, or national conference?Thanks for your advice! And it was for a personal reason that I’d rather not go into that I didn’t apply to UTHSC this year. I knew it would lower my chances of getting an A this cycle, but I accepted that risk. I might end up losing on that gamble, but such is the nature of this process.
That might also be part of it. Research powerhouses might prefer to see a thesis or a regional presentation. And I think it's more in combination with the lower volunteer hours.It was just at my school.
Yup!That makes sense. Do you think it would be enough for me to work for a year in a clinical setting and volunteer on the weekends (I’m not sure where yet; maybe Habitat for Humanity, Second Harvest, or something similar) and apply next cycle (2021-2022)?
There are definitely schools that are research wh...um, sex workers. That said, there are people who can get into them with no research. The trick is having something massive in their ECs that make counterbalance the research lack.Pardon my confusion, but as someone who pretty much only browses/reads stuff here once in a while, I'm a little confused about the whole research situation. Among different threads, the same people have said "research or overrated and often meaningless" and "publications are irrelevant" even for research-heavy schools in regards to your decision, while subsequently saying that national-level presentations and publications are necessary for research heavy schools in different threads. So what's the consensus on this?
It pretty much just seems like people with minimal research get the first response while people who have more heavy research commitments get the more scrutinized—is this how it works?
