<p>Hi I am a senior applying to college. During the summer of my junior year i did research on fMRI analyses that led to a publication. I wanted to know how much a published paper will help me, if at all, get in to college. Any ideas?</p>
<p>It depends on the major. If you’re doing, say, pre-med, I think it might help; on the other hand, I hope you didn’t do it just to get an edge in college admissions.</p>
<p>I intend to go to med school in the future. The main reason I did the research because it was an opportunity of a life time and it was extremely interesting! Thanks for the help</p>
