I am already two years behind schedule because I graduated last year from undergrad and I am planning on applying this year. There are a couple of issues.
Ive been dealing with a chronic health issue which has affected my ability to focus, study for the MCAT etc (which Im not feeling very ready for-and hoping to take in May)
Second thing is that I've had everything lined up for my school's committee letter but they require one from a clinical experience and my volunteer coordinator just said she doesn't do those sort of recommendations (because she hasnt observed me personally)... To be honest, my volunteering in the hospital hasn't been that substantial and so I doubt I could get something from the medical staff there.
So it's really two things... clinical experience and MCAT readiness.
But if I delay, then it would be a total of three years of being behind schedule.
Ive been doing research thus far and that's been going pretty well.
What should I do?
