I recently got accepted into my #1 choice and am very grateful and excited. I will be leaving my job at the end of this year (was happening regardless of acceptance- my work with my lab is wrapping up) and was already in the midst of contemplating what to do after. Now that I have this A though, I am looking forward to a more relaxed six month "break" and am wondering if I could take a fun course at my local community college? I am thinking something like creative writing, or even an elementary level course of a new language.
The reason I ask if I "can" do this is because I am unsure if this is something that would affect my application (i.e. would I need to tell the medical school that I have enrolled at a new school? Or be obligated to let them know whatever grade I end up with?). Basically, is this something they NEED to know and could it possibly negatively affect anything like financial aid for med school? I am planning on paying for this class out of pocket, as it would not be expensive at all at my local CC.
If taking a class "for fun" seems like an extra way to spend my break, I apologize but it would be genuinely enjoyable, so I really am just trying to have a good time before next year! Thank you in advance.
