I'm seeing my sophomore friends post statuses about how they're studying for the MCAT/LCAT this summer. Many of my senior friends knew where they were going to school or going to work in the beginning of the year.
And here I am, taking summer classes to catch up and can't even think about applying until senior year or the year after. Taking a gap year or two is seriously the best thing that could happen to me and my GPA but it just feels weird not knowing what will be after school. I applied to my university ED so I pretty much knew the December of senior year where I was going.
Side question: When do you ask for a LOR? I might have some professors my junior year I'd like to ask, but I heard year old letters is not acceptable. Is this true? And how do they know they're old?
