decided to take a few gap years and work on clinical research and (hopefully) get something published. My sGPA is 3.69, cGPA 3.76 and MCAT 516.
Mainly deciding between 2 opportunities both at the same T10 medical school:
one is a part-time (offered) and one is full-time (still interviewing). Would part-time job experiences look different from full-time for the admissions committee?
a) offer offered: part-time clinical research assistant for lab
pros: good mentorship, opportunities to publish (as mentioned by professor and research assistants who interviewed me), clinical exposure and OR exposure
cons: part-time
b) 3rd round interview: full-time departmental CRC
pros: good department (cardiothoracic), full-time job, clinical exposure and OR exposure
cons: less chance to publish, many PIs so may be hard to know one really well
