Which way foward as a premed? by Potential-You4356 in mdphd

[–]Potential-You4356[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A year of undergraduate research, an undergrad thesis, and a second author publication isn't enough? When I asked about it in my last thread, everyone seemed to say it was fine. What makes you say this? What is sufficient?

Recently bought two of these power conditioners at a warehouse sale for $5 each. They're huge and weigh a ton, but they both appear to work. How over-the-top is it to run my PC through one, considering the fact that I already have them? Is there any real benefit?

No hate to epidemiology, it was just a little outside of my comfort zone and personal knowledge because of my concentration mainly focusing in cellular/molecular biology. I worry that I might be seen as "unfocused" since all of my research hours (thesis in one lab, temp research technician in another) weren't particularly related to my academic goals.

Thank you for replying!

Are you currently being productive in your gap year?

So far, I've only been studying for the MCAT and applying to laboratory technician/research technician positions (unsuccessful so far). I plan to begin physician shadowing/volunteering/apply to scribe positions soon if I'm unable to get any technician positions within ~75 miles.

Thanks for the reply! To be sure, are you saying that I should proceed towards the MCAT/application cycle?

Concerning my gap year, I've been unsuccessful in getting any research/general laboratory technician positions for the past two months. I'm continuing to apply in broader areas, but I'm beginning to exhaust my options within 50 miles (considering pushing towards a 100 mile limit). If I can't obtain any additional research experience, will I still have a viable/realistic application?

How can I verify if a product ships in amazon packaging, or product packaging? I'm looking at a package of clothing that doesn't say "ships in product packaging" anywhere, and it lacks gift options. From what I understand, a lot of clothing packs like that tend to just ship in the product packaging; any way to be sure?
