I finished in three years but I had no idea what to do with my life afterwords. I initially went and worked for a biotech company and hated it. Then I moved to a mountian town and became a ski bum for a year until I tore my ACL. Rehabed that and did the MCATs and then went to Guatemala and learned Spanish. It's been a wild ride so far. Next plan is to move and get a job as an MCAT tutor and work on my Flight Instructor rating. I should go do research to boost my application, but I'm not going to. My suggestion would be take the year and work at something fun, apply to medical school, and as soon as you get the acceptance of your choice, get the hell out of dodge and travel. Go to as many foreign countries as possible and if you want to learn Spanish, Guatemala is the best place to do it. Central America is also a great place to travel. Good luck.
