2 if you can. 1 if you can’t do 2 but like above says you need a better story. Prepping for a career change would make sense if you got more to show from your gap than just a GMAT score.

Every Adcom ever says wait to apply until you’re ready
I totally feel you op. Busy most of the year and prepare for GMAT really burn me out.
Yeah.. on top of trying to break into a completely new industry where no one respects my background in PA.. it’s really starting to affect my mental health and I’ve been having anxiety attacks more than ever. I wonder if I’m just being too soft or if i just need to suck it up.
