Hey everyone,
I am a BS/MD student. The program is set up to allow us to matriculate into med school after 3rd year (I am a rising junior). By the end of junior year I will very very likely have met the credit/course requirements to make this happen. My question is, assuming that is the case, is it worth it to matriculate early or should I take a gap year in place of my senior year/ potentially leave a very light load to stay for a senior year. I have an entrepreneurial spirit and would love to take time to test out some of my ideas that I have been working on before entering medical school. Advice and perspectives from current medical students/ anyone really would help tremendously, assume finances are not a factor. Thanks a ton in advance.
