Admissions member at state school said to quit research job and do full-time masters?

Graduated last May, currently working as an RA at Harvard while working on the MCAT and taking classes after as I graduated with a 2.9 gpa. I recently got the chance to call an admissions member at my state school who suggested that I quit my research job and emphasized doing a full-time masters. This goes against what my undergrad advisor (not an admissions member) said, who encouraged me to take this job while I do transcript repair. I'm confused on who to listen to, any advice?
