well over half (63.4%) of new matriculants reported that more than a year had passed since graduating from college (up from 60.6% in 2016 and 62.6% in 2017)

The EC arms-race continues. We all need several hundred hours of whatever and students are prioritizing quality of life during undergrad over beating out those hundreds of hours during undergrad. Honestly, I see this trend as a positive from the perspective of the health of the student.

Or they overwork themselves in undergrad AND during their gap years to gain maximum utility of their time and be the #gunner of the app cycle...

I don’t know about you, but I did my time off and gunning after high school and before undergrad. I am just coasting now...

Another trend I noticed is to gain some other industry experience such as biomedical or computational experiences with hope to engage in dual careers.

While I agree this is a trend, I think it is due to the rising number of non-trads not by choice of the trade.

Mostly true but some by choice. Out of 3 I know, 2 differed admissions (right after graduation) to get industry experience and 3rd as you said took gap year to strengthen ECs and MCAT due to tough UG school.
