Your daughter has very strong stats, but so do many… and those stats alone will not set her apart from the others who also bring impressive stats to the table.

I still do not understand what the rush is. I would spend the time working in underserved communities and building a strong application. There is no advantage to applying now.

Gaining additional experiences will help with interviews down the road. Drawing from experiences and having stories to share will help with questions such as “ describe a time you failed and how you handled it, how would you handle disagreements, tell me about an ethical situation and how you handled it, what would you say to a patient who challenged your beliefs etc.

Your daughter is young and there is no rush. A gap year or 2 can only help… but it’s your choice and not mine. Do as you wish.
