Teacher Rec: good but not special (8/10)
Can i get into this program? I know i am mong many others applying and i have nothing special and no research or lab experience, but is it possible. Have people ever been accepted without publishing papers? If this program is basically impossible for me, are there other bs/md or bs/do programs that i have a shot at? I am 100% sure that I want to become a doctor so a bs/md program is my top choice! Thanks. Please be honest
