If this is true, is it somewhat ironic to you that while >80-90% premeds who plan to apply to top medical schools have some research experiences under their belts and then say no one wants to be a researcher? (You may even say how enthusiastic you are about research during your interview.)</p>
<p>Also, when you are doing research as a premed, isn’t your mentor likely either a PhD candidate or a post-docs? You had better not show this kind of attitude when you expect to learn something from him/her! These students on the PhD/tenure track very likely know much more about their specialized science-y field than you.</p>
