sportsMD23 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 I am entering my 4th year of undergrad this fall and applying to medical schools this fall. Although I am hoping for the best to get accepted anywhere, I wanted to plan what I should do next year if this upcoming cycle isn't successful. Stats: cGPA 3.98 MCAT: Writing this summer, but plan to rewrite it next summer if the score is poor ECs: average I was thinking of either working just random jobs, volunteering, or do course-based masters (I am not sure if doing master's will help with medical school admissions). Any thoughts? I am also graduating next spring but if the upcoming cycle isn't successful, would doing a 5th year help? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMislove Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 you're 3.98, if you maintain even a 3.9+ when you graduate youre fine. Do what would make you happier, whether thats work or grad studies. Work is good and gives valuable life experience that most pre-meds don't get from school school school. Also don't put med on a pedestal, it makes things much easier for your in the long run. Can volunteer while working too. Good luck.

GH0ST Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 You have options, but mainly try to keep living a regular life. Keep active, stay involved, stay connected with friends and family. Your grades aren't an issue. Good luck, - G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
