Hello, it's the end of my sophomore year and my GPAs are not good, my ECs are not good, and I don't even know when I'll begin studying for the MCAT.
This summer I'm taking classes and volunteering. So even if I get straight As my junior year, I won't have a good amount of free time to study for the MCAT (is 3 weeks enough?).
As much as I know it makes sense to take a gap year to show my senior year grades, have time to study for MCAT junior summer, and have more time for ECs, I can't justify wasting a year.
What should I do?
