Freaking out...

Graduated top university with **** GPA in last spring.
Got a 4.0 with 34 credits of science classes (Physics/Chem retake + upper level Bio) this past academic year.
Now I'm broke and in debt.
Haven't taken MCAT yet.
As far as my application goes, I lack clinical hours the most.. Still have them, but could use more.

Should I knock out the MCAT now while doing Uber/Lyft and worry about ECs later? Or should I worry about my debt ASAP?
Should I work a low paying clinical job or a research job (not impressive one probably) that pays well but not what I lack and will probably leave little time for volunteering?

I'm just very stuck and not being productive.

Kill that MCAT. That's all that matters.

Have you taken Biochemistry or Ochem? If not, take those and Uber/Lyft

Unless OP's timeframe that they're looking to apply in is greater than the MCAT's shelf-life.

It's still one of the most important things. He'll just kill it when he's ready instead of this month.

There's no law that says you have to go to med school at age 22. Consider this a marathon, not a sprint.

Take the MCAT only when you are 100% ready.

Getting a clinical job, especially one that allows for patient contact, will kill two birds with one stone, and allow time for non-clinical volunteering, and/or MCAT prep

How much debt? Whats your actual GPA? Ochem/Biochem?
Get a job, make money, and get your stats in line.
