There is the possibility that I do not make it into medical school this application cycle. In that event, I am trying to figure out what to do. The main issue that I would likely need to fix is the MCAT score. In the time that I try to improve the MCAT, what can I be doing? My main issue in studying for the MCAT has been finding both time and motivation and eliminating other life distractions. My worry is that I will put myself in some kind of situation after graduation that makes it difficult to study.
I would please like advice on the following ideas:
-Masters program, preferably a one-year Masters: how successful are these? If I am trying to improve my MCAT and will need a lot of studying, will this be a mistake? If a person doesn’t do very well in this type of Masters program, is it looked down upon? Is graduate study very difficult to balance with MCAT study?
-Work experience/random activities: try to find somewhere where I can stay in touch with some outside activities to keep myself motivated but not too involved that I don’t have time to study. May be volunteering?
-Any other ideas from others who have gone through this situation?
