[quote=Anonymous]Maybe have him think about what is career options are if he doesn’t get into medical school. Follow that path, along with studying for MCATS, getting experience in a medical setting. The worst applicants are the people who have no idea what the work really entails and a miserable and then drop out and waste a space that could have gone to someone who would be dedicated. Have him think through what he needs to do to show that dedication, based on first hand knowledge. It is projected there will be a shortage of doctors as the US population ages, need to make sue that people who are admitted have shown not just the ability to do well on tests, but the fortitude and interest by getting more experience. A lackluster, not well thought outbreak will not help show that. But, a break is a good idea, once you start on that treadmill of education, residency, etc, really won’t have the time for breaks and self-exploration. [/quote]
