Hi all,
I am doing research with a professor in genetics over the summer (40 hours a week) and studying for the mcat.
1) Is this too much to do at hte same time? I plan to take the mcat in september and i hope inshallah for a 30-33 on the mcat (i got a 1450 on the SAT after studying)
More importantly,
2) I am getting paid 3500 dollars for the summer, and I'm doing decent in the professor's class (probably around a B) in the class, so i feel kinda embrasssed being around him. He is giving me lab credit (counts for science gpa) that is worth an "A" basically. Do you think it is alright to ask him to give me credit over thes ummer as well (its 180 dollars per credit) becasue they're basically As that iw ould get for the gpa, and it would really boost my gpa up (3 hours of lab work = 1 credit hour)
