Hi guys! So I applied this cycle, so far had 2 interviews - rejected by one, and waitlisted by the other and although I know the cycle is not done yet, I'm trying to start thinking ahead in case I may need to be taking a gap year..
I graduate from undergrad this Spring semester and these are my stats: sGPA: 3.3, oGPA: 3.6, 20 AA, 20 TS, 23 PAT and a great amount of extracurriculars and just got my foot into research and I am thoroughly enjoying it thus far.
For a gap year I have considered 2 options so far: applying by this summer for a 1 year masters or looking into a dental assisting job for a little while.. as well as continuing shadowing, volunteering, and exploring the research field a little more.
Let me know what you think, I didn't think my statistics were bad, if anything they were fairly average but maybe I just need that little extra oomf to gain an acceptance. Open to any thoughts and advice!
