Hello! I hope that you are all well. I am posting for my younger brother for the 2024-2025 medical school admissions cycle. He strongly prefers schools located in the Northeastern region of the USA and is also interested in knowing whether you all recommend that he take a gap year before applying. Thank you so much in advance! @Faha @Goro @candbgirl
