I've heard that letting slip that you're interested in PhD research when you're applying to med school essentially guarantees your rejection, so is it the same deal with a medicine-related business venture? Part of the reason I'm considering a business venture is that I'm finding absolutely no good work opportunities, and I know that being idle for the entire time between now and med school interviews is terrible. However, my concern is that a real business venture would suggest considerable dedication to the venture, and that that would likely suggest to adcoms that I'm more interested in business than in medicine, even if the venture is medicine-related. On the other hand is the possibility that a business venture would make me stand out as a unique applicant. Any advice? Thanks.
