Hey guys,
I'm been fortunate enough to have been accepted to a medical school already that I'd be happy to go to. A few days ago, I got a II for another school that I think I'd like to go to even more. I'm taking a gap year right now and worked as a scribe for 6 months. Now, I've been tutoring for the past few months. My problem is that I know interviewers will ask me what I am doing/did during my gap year and why I quit scribing. It was great experience and it showed me a lot about life as a physician, but I eventually quit because of the low pay and the commute (~1-1.5 hr each way) once I was accepted. Honestly, I felt I got all I could out of it during that time as well and wanted another job that payed a little more before I started medical school. How should I bring this up? I've also been debating whether or not to even accept the II because of this. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
