If you will not be enrolled as a full-time student, what will you be doing until matriculation? OR What have you done since graduating from college? You will have mentioned some of this information elsewhere in the application. While you don't have to max out the word or character count, it is important to account for all of your time, especially if you're not working or volunteering full-time. You want to detail exactly what your role entails and your experiences and takeaways.

Now for the "ifs":
- If you're working full-time in a non-medical field, that's a okay. Explain how the work has and will help you build skills that will prepare you for medical school. And plan to volunteer at health events or a free clinic with whatever time you do have. You want to show dedication to the field, even if you must make your money elsewhere.
- If you haven't started the role you'll be working in until matriculation, give a detailed description of your duties and what you hope to get out of your experience.
- If you have no idea what you'll be doing until matriculation, oh goodness, get one.
- If you have some room left in your response, you can include a detail about something fun you're doing or plan to do.
