Master's Program Advice

Hello, I just started a two-year master's program and would like to know what I should prioritize during my time to become a strong applicant for MD/PhD Programs. I have my MCAT scheduled for early next year. My current stats include a 3.97 GPA, 3000 research hours, 400 clinical hours, 60 shadowing hours, 6 publications (3-first author), 9 conference posters (5-first author).

Thank you!

if you just started a 2 year masters make sure your MCAT isnt going to expire before you actually apply if you are taking it early next year. Should be fine, but.

Also 3 first author pubs? wow.
