Hi! Looking for some insight. I've taken the MCAT, did horribly, and am taking a Gap Year. I'm currently a college senior, and I just need to take some time to really study for this exam. Thankfully, my GPA is not bad (3.7+), and I've got some clinical experience (shadowing + 400ish hours volunteering at the hospital, am also studying to become an EMT, just got accepted for EMT school last weekend).
I have two options
1) Do an NSF and get a Master's in Forestry at Yale
2) Becoming a Middle School Science Teacher (My undergrad major was Biology with a conc in Educ, and I have Licensure) while simultaneously going to school to get my M.Ed.
Both of these would give me time to study for my MCAT, and allow me to save for Medical School. But which one sounds like a better option? I don't see how either or them would look "better" to adcoms, so maybe some of you can advise me.
