<p>Hello all! :)</p>
<p>So I was wondering what would look more impressive to an admissions officer:</p>
<p>first year: research intern at well-known hospital</p>
<p>2nd year (the part where I am confused):</p>
<pre><code> choice a) continue research, but will not have an independent project, free
choice b) join a science program at UF where you pay 3500 for a research project and are allowed to enter it into constests.
</code></pre>
<p>I definitely think choice "b" sounds better but I don't want my parents to spend the money. :/
they will though if they know for sure it is worth it..is it?</p>
