I am a sophomore and I plan on taking a gap year. I will be applying to medical school at the end of my senior year and I was wondering when is it best to get involved in research. I am really excited to get started with research because there are some interesting opportunities at my school but I am also very involved on campus and in my community. I do not want to take on too much so I am wondering if I should get started with research now (my sophomore year) and do it over the course of three years or get started in the middle of my junior year. I do plan to do a summer research internship but for long-term research is starting earlier or later better? Or does it not matter at all?
