One of my cousins is a college student at the university of alabama and he offered me a position to work very close with him on his PhD project. I would be doing the same work he is and it would be very heavy work as I’d be working from 9am-5pm. There is no pay involved but I will be working with the cutting edge technology available only in select places around the world and my name would be put on a research paper as an author. I would like to know if this would look good on my college application as I am willing to put in the work for it and it will last all of summer.
