I’m interested in doing medical research, but I’m not exactly sure what type of school I should attend after I’m finished with my UD degree. Maybe you guys could steer me in the right direction. I’m currently attending University of Kentucky, This is my first semester-- transferred from a local community college.
What im wondering is what type of school I should be looking into–med school, or graduate? I’d really like to get into a top 10 university; I feel the education I would obtain there would allow me to get into the kind of positions where I could really make a difference in medicine. I know my UD institution isn’t stellar, but I hope my GPA(3.8), research experience(working in a lab with a phd prof from northwestern), recs, and test scores would make up for that.
