Hey everyone.
I am getting ready to apply to medical school this cycle but I am having some minor thoughts about taking another gap year to teach English abroad and learn a new language. So I have two questions. And yes, I have read older threads about both of them.
1) I took my Mcat June of 2013. Will it still be good if I apply summer of 2015? The general consensus that I have heard is that I should be fine since it's only 2 years out and most schools do 3 years out. But will the new MCAT change that rule?
2) I have read threads on here about teaching abroad and how if it's something you want to do, then do it! Especially, if you can mix in some medically related volunteering. I am wondering if anyone who has recently taught abroad has any advice/reviews of their experience?
