What to do during a year off (before matriculating)

[dr_pepper]

Several people have advised me to defer enrollment (when the time comes) and take a year off before entering med school. Do you guys know of things that people have done during their year that have been productive, meaningful, relaxing, and/or good preparation for med school?

yah, i think it's not such a bad idea; do something you like, or go travel or something; just live life; you dont really get to after you get an md
