Despite my Ode to Quinnipiac, I remain firmly on the priority waitlist and despite the heavy movement from the priority waitlist in previous years it isn't looking super promising thus far. I'm now in an awkward position where my MCAT (taken in 2023 idk why I took two gap years rip) will likely only be valid for a little more than 1/2 of the schools applied to this year. I'm also incredibly behind and haven't really prepped for this coming cycle and would be catching up in terms of writing, rec letters, and more. I could wait another year and also retake the MCAT but that would leave me with four gap years which is incredibly scary to think about.

Any advice is welcome as I stressfully wait, contemplate, and hope.
