For those of you that were done with college before applying to medical school, what did you do? I decided that I'm going to wait until after I graduate to apply due to illness and family crises. thanks!

For me, while I studied abroad, and again this summer, I volunteered abroad as an emergency medical technician, and my state just decided to allow the transfer of my certification from there. So now I ended up working as an EMT for a private ambulance company.
Sweet Tea, I agree completely. BTW, I think I quote you more than anyone else.Originally posted by Sweet Tea
I graduated in 2001, and while I'm ready to go back to school (I'd start tomorrow if they'd let me), taking time off was probably the best decision I've ever made.

Where did you get your EMT training? That sounds like an awesome opportunity to both be abroad and stay involved in medicine....what did you think of the experience? What were you allowed to do as compared to US EMT's? I'm guessing similar things as you were able to transfer your certification, but i'm still curious...
