Hi,

I'm holding an acceptance at a med school right now. If I request a deferral, and it is granted, do I need to do something that's medicine related, or could I basically take my year and do whatever I want with it?

Members don't see this ad.
 
You can do anything you want to do. You have to ask the school first to see if they let you do so, and they would like to know why you request it.

There is a guy on my hall that is double majoring in biology and piano performance and just got his deferral granted from UCONN med. He graduated in may with his bs in bio but will spend the next year finishing his ba requirements for his piano degree and graduate again next spring. So yeah, it's possible.
