I graduated in May 2011and received a scholarship/grant to do research over the summer for 4 months until September. I moved back in with my parents and has been unable to find a job in 4 months thus far (sent about 10 CVs a day to companies, various research labs...etc etc).
What I have done so far is hospital volunteering 2hrs/week, hospice volunteering 4 hrs/week, youth organization mentorship 3 hrs/week, and physician shadowing 3 hrs/week. All other time is spent, so far fruitlessly, on trying to find ad job.
From what I hear on here, the adcoms want to know what you did for your gap year - so is what I'm doing and my efforts enough??
I'm registered to take the MCAT in May, so the next 4 months I will be studying and no longer interested in a job.
