Research is hard to measure for most program directors. A published article in peer reviewed journals is very clear, but “I was in the lab” for a few months is hard to measure.
If there are two applicants of equal value, both with similar school and USMLE scores, then research will make a difference.
A small project completed all the way and presented at a meeting of for publication is MUCH better than just a rotation.
