Hi everyone,
I wrote a post similar to this before, but wanted to add specifics this time (the other was more general).
I am planning on teaching English in China from July 2018-July 2019.
A couple of concerns
1) Would med schools look down on me or my application for doing this instead of a clinical-based job. I have clinical experience (probably 400 hrs at the moment), but its a gap year before medical school (hopefully), and I wanted to do something different.
2) Can I access AMCAS from China?
Side note: I would plan on finishing MCAT and getting score BEFORE heading to China (Taking May or june mcat)
To be more specific: I would go to China July 2018-July 2019 (may actually be back by May 2019, depending on the contract). I intend to apply for med school during the 2019-2020 cycle. (so I would submit AMCAS apps June 2019). The only months I would be gone would be June and early July.
