Should scientific research publications be listed separately?
I have 2 published papers on neuroepigenomic mechanisms of brain disorders, should these be listed individually in the activities/work section? I may have up to 3 or 4 more by the time I submit my application, but this would of course take up a tremendous amount of space that I could use for other activities that may arguably be as useful if not more important than some of the papers. Any advice on how to best approach this? Thanks! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

I have to graduate early and I can't finish my premed courses in undergrad!HELP
I have weird circumstances. I am running out of undergraduate money. I had to switch up my major just to graduate in time. I choose a non science field (had to pick something I was interested in) so I am a sociology major minor in urban education (may have to drop due to me having to graduate so early. Since I am running out of money I can't finish my pre med course (I have done physics 1 and 2, Chem 1 and 2 and biology) I may be able to fit my calculus in to finish my math but I don't have...

Could someone recommend psychotherapy books
Looking for a good and informative book on the science behind psychotherapy for a neuro maj/psych minor.
I have looked into the The Talking Cure by Susan Vaughn but this is not available on kindle because it was published in 1998. Looking for an up to date book please.

In neurology residency do you learn more basic neuroscience, or just how to manage neuro disease?
This might seem like a strange question, but I got into science and medicine specifically because I love learning about the brain and how it works (especially the neuropsychological and consciousness aspects). I'm pretty sure I want to go into neurology at this point (I'm finishing up MS2) mostly because it is the field I find most intellectually stimulating, but I also find many of the diseases interesting and like the practice options. However, I'm wondering if a career in neurology will...

3.71 cGPA, 3.70 sGPA, 513 MCAT
Hello everyone! I'mgetting ready to apply and I really wanted some input on what schools I should apply to. I am a NY resident. I know I might get some hate for saying this, but I have been extremely neurotic with my chances. I always see other kids posting here with 3.8s and 3.9s, questioning their chances and it makes my 3.70 look bad. And then there are those with higher gpas than mine who don't get in after 2 cycles which sounds like a nightmare.
Science GPA: 3.70
Cumulative: 3.71
MCAT:...
