[quote=Anonymous]So many options: internship, work, travel, even just relax after the stressful/crazy covid year.

I think spring admits will be very popular this year. Our DS is doing one (starting in January). We' view it as a great way to give the schools/world more time to back to normal.

He is headed to a large university with an established "spring admit" or "J-Frosh/January Freshman" program, so we're comfortable that Jan. will be an ideal time to start.  (In fact, the admissions office said the school expects some of the Fall admits to request a January start because of covid concerns. Kind of like a mini-deferral to wait out covid without pushing college back a full year.)

Normally, his university offers travel abroad options but it is unclear if those will be in full swing thanks to covid.  If they are, great; if not, we're ok with him continuing his internship, working or even taking a couple of credit-bearing online classes.

I view it as a great option for our son to have a couple of months of transition before starting a pretty intense program.

Good luck to your kiddo.[/quote]
