If as the opening/submission date to your centralized application service nears and you’re starting to feel like you are not as prepared to move forward in this process as you thought, we strongly urge you to consider taking a bridge year (or two). Some reasons why you may want to consider a bridge year (or an additional bridge year) at this time are:
- You have yet to sit for your entrance exam, or you are considering pushing it back even further.
- You have not acquired your letters of recommendation, and are having difficulty connecting with faculty.
- You have not budgeted enough time to complete a quality application and still submit within a reasonable time frame.
- The application process is more expensive than you realized, and it may be difficult for you to secure the funds to apply.
