Completely unprepared- apply anyway?

So I was originally planning on taking a gap year because I thought I wouldn't be competitive enough this year, but should I just apply anyway? If I get rejected I can always just apply again next year right, with a higher gpa and more clinical experiences. Are there any downsides I'm missing?

I was in the same shoes as you but I decided to take a gap year. I didn't want to spend a lot of money applying to schools (you would have to apply to many places with ok stats) so I thought it was best to just wait. The pros of waiting is that you can build up your GPA, increase ECs, take a year to work and pay off any debt.

You answer your own question in the title.

You have a month and a half. Get it together and apply

Why be a re-applicant? Why waste the money? What is your GPA? MCAT? ECs? What do you mean you are not ready? Poor planning and bad time management skills are not the qualities of a future physician.

Given the amount of info you've given us, I think it would be a good idea to pull a triple Lindy, travel to Azeroth and shadow the healers there, and then go to Home Depot (if you have enough time).
