I recently learned of the SCOTUS agreeing to hear two cases that could end affirmative action. From reading up on it, a decision will likely be made by June 2023. I am a URM taking a gap year and I wasn't planning on applying this cycle, but hearing of this news has me worried about what will happen if this passes and if it will affect med school admissions in the next cycle. I have a 3.7 GPA, strong EC's/research, and a community-based/ service-oriented narrative, but I haven't taken the MCAT yet (planning to take it in June). I wanted to take another gap year as I have been really enjoying my current research job, but now I am wondering if I should just bite the bullet and apply this cycle. Overall, hearing about this news has gotten me quite anxious, but I don't know if I am overreacting and if I should even consider this as a factor in my decision to apply this cycle.
