One thing people don't talk about is maturity of 22 yr old MS1 (no gap) vs 24 yr old MS1 (one or two gaps). [/quote]

In most other countries, medical school is an undergraduate course of study entered into after high school. Are you saying doctors
in other countries are less mature because they went straight into their course? The maturing process happens DURING medical school and residency training. Like being forged into a new person by fire. completely different from the sweet, idealistic undergrad that entered. [/quote]
