We suggested S not work first year to give him to time to acclimate. Although grades were okay (just under 3.2), he wanted to go to med school. In next 3 years he worked at on campus lab (10 hours week?) during school year, got grades up, went to med school. So for S work was IMO huge plus as it required him to manage his time more effectively. Also adding to powercropper, S ended up working in lab of prof/ dept. chair who ended up writing strong LOR for him. So working provided S with great connection.
