Not reapply the year following no acceptances to beef up? I have no acceptances yet, but there are still some possibilities. Anyway I want to have a game plan in case I don't get in.
I was thinking of not reapplying and studying to retake the MCAT, as it is likely what is holding me back. I know I need to do other things in the meantime, so I was planning on taking some upper level bio classes and retaking g chem 1 and 2 (C and C+, retaking to help with MCAT). I would also work to save money, continue to volunteer and shadow etc...
Anyway, will taking that gap year make a difference? I could always just reapply and add some DO schools. I have nothing against going DO, but I think if I took the year off I would be able to save money and be a better candidate for both DO and MD.
