Gap Year

<p>Does anyone suggested taking a year off in between undergrad and Med school?</p>

<p>Depends on what you do with the time. </p>

<p>Some schools hand out deferrments like candy, while others want you to have a really good reason why you're putting off your enrollement. (this assumes you've been accepted).</p>

<p>If you applied and were rejected, then of course the scenario is different.</p>

<p>Finally if you graduate, take a year off and then apply, they are going to want to know why. This would be something to bring up in your interview.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that a lot of older (30+) do end up going back to school after years of doing something else. In my own M1 class there is a girl who has her Pharm D. and was a pharmacist for 3 years before going back to get her MD. In the class above me, there is a 50 year old man (almost as old as my dad) and a girl who a PA for 4 years before applying for med school.</p>
