Full-time job during gap year
I'm in a post-bacc program and will be finished with coursework in August 2017. I plan on taking the MCAT in Spring 2018 and won't start prepping until March 2018.

I have extensive laboratory research, but to be honest, I don't think I could work in a lab setting for another 2 years. My undergraduate background/professional experience is in healthcare analytics and... Full-time job during gap year (Source: Student Doctor Network)
