<p>Do what you think will be a more enjoyable experience. If you havent’ already, ask the research PI and the MS manager about what exactly you will be doing over the summer. In my experience, PIs and managers make the project description sound a lot more interesting than what it actually is.</p>

@ccpsux

Personally, I would prefer the MS position. However, I hope such experience won’t be neglected by grad school, because it’s not research at all, which is what many people claim here.

<p>it doesn’t sound like you will be doing random mundane tasks.</p>

@LongPrime

take the MS position. DS enjoyed the experience. Made many friends worldwide.

I like how you just tell OP to take the position so confidently. :rolleyes:</p>
