No II, time to panic?

😢 SAD

Complete radio silence except for a couple of pre-II Rs. I recently added a few more "lower" tier schools that match my stats, but people here seem to believe it's too late.

Feeling lost since I spent 2 gap years working on building my application, and I'm not sure if I can do a 4th or 5th year, feel like I lost out a lot of my life in the middle of nowhere with no friends around.

I've started to apply to jobs as well but with no luck because I have no industry experience, and the current macro environment means hiring freezes.

I feel really defeated. My research position is ending and I don't know where I can find opportunities. I put all my effort for the past 6-8 years on building an application for medical school, so I didn't get to have internships in undergrad or work experience. Because of that, I'm broke and I probably wouldn't even have the finances to retake tests and apply again. I have a sinking feeling that I'll be an unemployed bum and not competitive enough to get into school.

Is it too late to apply to DO?
