Gap year before medical school

Thank you, so by work experience, what do you have in mind? I wanna be a cardiothoracic surgeon btw (if that helps)

why do you want to be that?

I want to be a surgeon because you have very good hand/eye coordination and have excellent 3D spatial awareness, I am cool under pressure and don't panic when things aren't going my way, I can handle devastating failure without it affecting your confidence to get to the next scheduled patient, I can do my best work even when I don't feel my best or when things aren't going well at home.
I like to help people in general.
I like to matter, make a difference, and feeling important.
I like fixing things, solve puzzles, and working on one of the most precious matters on the planet. The precision that's needed.
I like how serious it is, and what the job is asking from me.
I know I'm capable of the job
I like the gratitude given when being successful. And can handle the blows that come with not have been successful.

As far as admissions team are concerned, this is a fairly cliché answer and it’s something that you need to research more into from the looks of it.

True. OP could submit this answer in regards to being a mechanic or even a table tennis player and it would work perfectly. There are lots of jobs that require thinking under pressure, good hand eye coordination and hard work.

Yeah, of course, I have some things to say that are outside the box, but do you have any ideas of getting out of that "everyone says the same thing" situation? I wanna hear your input
