research vs basic science grades

[studentdoc82]

what's more important? a looooottt of research but at the cost of basic science grades (they're above average but they're not stellar) or minimal research but stellar basic science grades. i've heard that basic science isn't that important when applying to residencey but i wanted to verify the validity of that statement. obviously research is much more fun than studying thanks.

no one really cares about basic sci grades usually. but in this field its so competitive, every little thing helps to distingush you from the next guy. But you should be able to manage both reasonablly well without sacrifice.
