I will be graduating with a neuroscience degree from a private LAC with a 3.96 gpa in a few days. I had planned to study for the mcat this summer and work next year as a medical assistant. I already have 700 hours of research and two publications. Now I have received two job offers, one at Columbia and one at UCSF, for lab positions. I must say I am starstruck by the prestige of the institutions. Would this just be more research hours or do these places hold enough respect that my clinical hours could be scant and I would still be a viable candidate with a good mcat score? Appreciate any opinions on the subject!
