I was hoping for some advice or opinions from people who entered Med school a little later than normal.
I'm currently an undergrad student doing the pre-med thing. I am torn between two decisions though. Part of me is simply so eager to become a Doctor that I want to immediately go to med-school and become one as quickly as I can.
Another part of me wants to take a few years off and serve as an officer in the Marine Corps; to take a few years to just live life outside of a classroom and do something completely different from what I have been doing (Engineering) and what I will be doing (Medicine).
I know ultimately the choice will be one I have to make alone, but I was hoping for some input from people who have entered Med School later in life...
