So I am currently a sophomore in undergrad and have been wondering if taking a gap year after graduating is a good idea. The reason I’m asking is because in the next two years of undergrad I plan on taking upper level biology classes as well as o chem 1,2, and biochem. I know most people plan on studying for the OAT during the summer after junior year but I already plan on taking two classes during that time. Basically the issue is I feel like with all the upper level classes I take I won’t have much time to focus on studying for the OAT. If I take a gap year after graduating I plan on studying for the OAT and applying for optometry school while volunteering and gaining experience as well. I’ve spent every summer after graduating hs taking classes so I feel like it would give be a good time to relax as well as build my resume. Thoughts?
