Have a friend who's going off to Harvard to work in a Nobel Prize winners lab next year for 2 gap years, and while of course I am extremely proud of them, they seem to think that this is going to do wonders for their application (i.e. have a better chance at Harvard).
Granted, they have very high stats (3.8+/518+) and will likely get a rec letter from the Nobel Winner who also sits on Harvard's admissions, but I'm skeptical of the claim that simply working in a "famous" lab will inherently give you an advantage over doing research in any other lab.
Thoughts? Or am I just being jealous?
