So I have two choices
Choice 1) Do a full-time internship in plant pathology, oncological, or food science research and graduate a semester late.
Choice 2) I can retake two courses that ate me alive last semester and bump my science g.p.a , volunteer ~200 hours in the ER, and gradute on time..
Which would benefit me more? Would med schools really be *that* impressed that I did research in plant pathology or food science? The problem is that I don't know if I can land another undergraduate research position next summer..
If it helps heres some background info - Finishing up sophomore year in Psychology, have about a year of lab experience doing grunt work for Ph.D students (not actually research.. making media, solutions, preparing experiments), 3.5 accumalitve g.p.a and 2.8 science g.p.a.... no volunteer experiece yet.
