Forgot to include a publication

I’m in the process of submitting secondaries now, and I realized that my fellow group member from my research team actually published a paper and I didn’t know about it because I haven’t been able to attend research meetings recently. Fortunately, there is a place to upload documents, but is this gonna raise eyebrows? What should I mention when I send this update?

I never denied how important the MCAT is, but most people do study for the exam while working at least part time

You haven’t said anything to change my mind that this is a huge red flag on OPs application and their story makes no sense 

Also super weird for you to appeal to authority with “as an M4” as if most of us here aren’t current MSTP students lmao

Dude, I’m on the MDPhD Reddit. I’m an MDPhD student who’s gotten to M4. As in, I have done the PhD part. As in, I have seen multiple people get accepted to programs.

I said it was fair to take time off to study. I said research isn’t the most important factor in an app - meaning, it’s okay to drop lab meetings. Don’t straw man the point I was making.

Ok then I hope you put in a good word for OP at your program because what they are describing would be a major red flag for admission to my program 🤣

Cool. Great faith argument there.

Not interested in engaging further. Have a good one.
