At most schools in the country 70-80% of matriculants have research experience. What we don't know is the proportion of applicants who didn't get in anywhere who had research experience. It is also hard to know if research experience doesn't make a difference at some schools but because it is a ubiquitous behavior, most matriculants have the experience although the school doesn't select for that experience (just as we could measure the proportion of students who have ever consumed broccoli. The proportion is likely to be high but it has no bearing on med admission. )
Can you get in to medical school without research experience? Yes but like taking a chance that things will turn out in your favor despite not doing something you should do (eating leafy greens during pregnancy, wearing a hat outdoors in subzero weather) to give yourself the best odds of a good outcome.
