So I am on a waitlist at one school. I've been rejected from every other school that I applied to. The school I'm waitlisted at is far away from my family and my wife's family. I'm not very fond of the location of the school, but I think that it would be a good school to go to. Also, they will not tell me where I'm at on their waitlist.
Next week I have a job interview for a Cardiology Research position. I have already interviewed with two of the three people that will be interviewing me. They were actually the ones that pushed my application for this job. Even if I don't get this job, they promised me another job for a different position to start in July. The benefits of this job would be that I could network more and get LOR's from well known doctors in the area. This would give me a much better chance at the school that I really want to go to. However, if I take this job they expect a committment of at least one year.
In sum, I can either work for this research place, or hope to get into this school. I can't do both. So, if I get this research job (which will probably start before the end of May) do I take it and withdraw my application from the only school that I still have a chance at geting into? Please give me any advice that you can think of....
