Hey everyone,
First post (woo), wish it was under better circumstances. Its currently March and even though I have interviewed at three school I still have no acceptances--just keep getting "we have deferred making a decision on your application at this time" emails and I'm not sure what to do. I know there is a lot of turnover near May when people start committing to schools, but I feel like to be a responsible adult I need to start looking for a backup plan on how to spend a gap year now rather than just waiting around until May. The problem is that its kind of late to apply to jobs/grad schools etc, so I don't know what I should do to be productive. Any insights or suggestions?
Side note-as far as my application goes my stats and extracurriculars are decent. Lots of research and leadership positions, only real gap I feel like I have is clinical experience/shadowing.
