Hey Guys!

First i'll give us guys some background about me. I go to a state school and have a great GPA. I signed up already to take the MCAT this September. I am currently a sophmore but a junior by credits. I only need two more semesters to graduate. I am also an EMT.

The Dilemma: If I take the MCAT in september i will be a late applicant, so im not sure if i should apply or not, although this is very much contingent on how my MCAT goes. I also have too much to do my Junior/"senior" year if i was to graduate a year early. This forces me to take the year off.

I have done research for the past year in a wet lab. I also am in the Honors College and am going to be writing a thesis and presenting it. I have already also presented other projects, not research oriented, i have done at conferences.

Should I take the year off and continue research/being an EMT?
Should I try to find an internship that might accept me for a substantial amount of time (3 months, full time)?
Should i get a job as a scribe?

I am so lost and I have no clue what to do.

It is my fault for not realizing earlier that I could graduate a year early; I had miss counted my credits.


Thanks in advance everyone!
