cgardiner Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 If I were to do research to make my app look better, could i do computer science research or is it best just to do something bio/chem related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosuperman Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 If you've got the training and opportunities in CS then I'd do that. Makes you stand out more and its probably something you'd enjoy more, which ultimately is your top priority. You could always investigate ways to tie that in with medicine later in your career as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did comp sci because I was interested in that. It worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget about appearance and just head in the direction of your interests. You will enjoy the journey more and the future will take care of itself.

takashi Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 The reason why many medical schools like their applicants to have research experience is because it demonstrates certain qualities like the ability to work independently, read scientific papers, problem-solve, critical thinking skills etc. The type of research is therefore not as important as you would think. So do what you like and try to gain as much as possible from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
