<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I'm a Junior at Wellesley college and I was wondering if someone could provide some information about going to Med School with no research experience.</p>

<p>I'm a history major whose internship/work experience has all been bussiness related. However, after a year as an EMT I think I'd rather go to Med School than take up bussiness - but I have absolutely NO research experience.</p>

<p>I have the neccessary courses for med school (calc, physics, chem, bio, orgo) and MCATs (I was a biochem major until the middle of my sophmore year.) But Again - no research experience and very little likelihood of picking any up.</p>

<p>If I have a reasonably high GPA and MCAT score will this still count against me?</p>

<p>Thanks for your Time,</p>

<p>Witch</p>

<p>Research is not at all necessary to get into medical school. If you pick up a copy of this year's MSAR, you'll see that not even at schools like Harvard do all successful applicants have research experience.</p>

<p>Uh, yeah, but 90+% is pretty devastating competition for those last 10% of spots if you're looking for a school that considers itself a research school.</p>
