<p>Okay so I'm very indecisive about what I want to do with my life. I am planning on possibly becoming a psychiatrist, but my main problem with that is the fact that is that it would literally take 12 years to achieve. I really believe that my twenty's could potentially be the best years of my life, and I am hesitant to go through with med school and whatnot while my young life is passing me by.</p>

<p>Is it unheard of for people to postpone going directly to med school after undergrad? I think i'd wait like 5 years at most, but would this pose a problem? Anyone have any experience? Thanks so much.</p>

<p>No, that would not be a problem at all. Be sure to explain the absence in your personal statement. Med schools actually like older applicants because they are more mature in handling the rigorous academic discipline of med school.</p>
