Hello SDN. I am a little ahead of schedule as far as my undergraduate course works goes (dual credit stuff in high school) and was considering maybe teaching (junior high or high school) for a year before medical school. Providing my GPAs, MCAT, and other admission criteria are on par with a typical matriculant, would teaching for a year:

1) hurt my chances of getting accepted into medical school?

2) improve my chances of getting into medical school?

Reasoning: my father is a teacher and I have always had a good deal of respect for good teachers. I believe education is important and I do believe that it would give me a good deal of perspective.

Thank you for your time.
