There is no need to stand out. Just do the work that you are assigned to do as well as you can and it all will pay off. Treat the people on your team with respect, listen to your superiors, follow the proper procedures and all will fall into place. Yes, this is the best way to obtain the great LOR. My D. never dealt with the person in charge of the lab. She just dealt with the graduate student in charge of her project. D. committed to the lab for 3 years, starting with sophomore year and she and her classmates all received great LOR’s and nominations to Phi Beta Kappa from the head of the lab.
Just keep your priorities straight though. Your college GPA, MCAT score are still priority #1, do not loose this prospective.
Best wishes!
