If I decide to go for dental school, then I might apply this May (most dental schools don't require a degree).
I'm only in my second year of college, so if I decide to go the AA route (or maybe even medical school) and not dental school, then I'll have no choice but to wait until May of 2009 to apply.
Dave -- the last option (the one that sets you up with lots of "bonus" vacation time) sounds interesting. Let me get it straight: you work a Friday night call, then a Saturday day shift, then a Sunday day shift, and then you are given 9 or 10 days of vacation (which aren't subtracted from your standard vacation days)?
If that is the case, that sounds like a great deal. Is it rare to land a deal like that?
