Hey guys,
I've been offered a research assistant position with a very prominent doctor working on pretty cutting edge stuff. He works at the medical school I would like to attend and I think I would love working with him. I know I would get multiple publications and a great letter of rec. from a famous doctor.
Unfortunately, he wants 25 hours a week min. I've been getting A's so far, but unfortunately, I'm pretty sure my grades will suffer if I take this job, as I can't get A's without a lot of studying.
The question is, which would look more attractive to admission offices? a 3.8 with no job or a 3.4 with a great job and the publications and letters of rec. that would come along with it?
