I am currently heading into my senior year of college and since my MCAT was bleh (495), I am planning to take a gap year.

I am planning to take the MCAT once again during early Spring. Does it seem like a good idea?

Thanks! Also give me some recommendations!
 
Average first year matriculants are 25-26 now so it's pretty common. Im on my 3rd gap year right now. Use your time well though; volunteer, work as a scribe, or do some traveling.
