I graduated December 2016 and don't plan on applying until 2019. I'll be 25 (almost 26) by the time I enter med school in 2020. Is anyone else taking this much time off from school, and if so, what are you doing during these years?
I was hoping someone could shed some light on what it's like taking this many years off school. Do you regret it? What would have done differently? Any advice on how to utilize this time efficiently?
For me, I really hope to use this time to really strengthen weak areas of my app (research and extracurriculars). My goal is to go to a research heavy med school, and right now I just don't have the "oompf" to get me into one. At least I don't think.
Anyways, if anyone feels compelled to share their experiences please do!
