I am currently a junior planning on applying to AMCAS this cycle. I'm not really gunning for a T20 school, but I thought I'd put a few on my list to test my luck with them. Please let me know if there are any schools I should add/omit! Also, any thought on a gap year vs. applying the traditional route?
