No research , MD possible ?
I’m sure this question gets asked a lot. I have yet to take my MCAT but I am aiming for MD and plan to apply in 2027. I’ve seen many posts saying people have been accepted to an MD with no research but I’m wondering if those are unicorns and a small portion of applicants. I’m not really interested in research and I have 0 ties or connections to be able to get a position so I would really have to grind to get one. Also, objectively and honestly, my current EC are pretty cookie cutter and basic even though I still have 1yr to beef it up so I’m wondering if I should just bite the bullet and start researching now. Background info, I have yet to take the MCAT and my gpa is around a 3.57 and I don’t have any plans to take a post bacc, hoping to kill the mcat to offset gpa. Would love any advice
