I recently chose to apply to DO schools and have already completed all my applications. The thing is, I started doing cell/molec research last year just to do it, without thinking I would ever do research post-undergad. However, after one year of research, I realized that I really enjoy it and I'm seriously considering going the MD/PhD route. Since I was never really interested in research in the beginning, I havent really been taking my own projects or have had a real leadership role in my lab. Now that I am about to graduate this spring, I feel that I missed my chances of exploring my research opportunities that I would have taken advantage of I had known I would consider it as a career. I applied to medical schools with a low MCAT so I doubt I will get in anyways so I plan on beasting the MCAT to qualify for an MD/PhD program. But what can I do with my research background to prove my new passion?
