Think taking a gap year will put you behind? Think again.

In this episode of GradMissions Office Hours, we make the case for taking a purposeful gap year before medical or law school and unpack why more time can actually move your application forward.

We talk about the difference between a strategic gap year and simply delaying the process, why the built-in “glide year” of the application cycle may not be enough, and how rushing to balance coursework, standardized tests, essays, and applications can leave applicants scrambling.
