<p>I’m currently a bioengineering major prospectively applying to b-school and was wondering if the admissions committee actually recognizes achievements unrelated to business, such as research (including abstracts, publications, etc) and things of that nature. Do they take into account how one as fared in their own individual academic background despite it not being some sort of business internship? And if so, would it be smarter to use summers to excel predominantly in research or to put research on hold for more business related things such as an internship? </p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any comments =].</p>
