<p>I'm about to research under a professor. He told me I can either just volunteer without any "name" or I could enroll in a course called Bio 199, which is for undergraduate researchers at UCI. Which would be better for med school application?</p>
<p>Why on earth would it matter?</p>
<p>Well, I think he's worried if he gets credit for doing the research, the research itself might not appear as much as an extracurricular.</p>
<p>I would definitely take the credit and enroll in Bio 199 to boost that science GPA.</p>
