[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PPs don't know anything about gap years. They're only recommended if the kid goes through the usual application process, and once accepted, requests a gap year. Otherwise, they're in competition with seniors from the year below, and they need to prove they did something with their gap year - otherwise their academic skills are a year stale. [/quote] I wouldn't have recommended it except that the kid has missed the vast majority of deadlines. Yes, they can still get into a 4-year university. However, if they were hoping for a specific type or tier of school, that ship may have sailed for this year. The gap year puts them in competition with current juniors, but now they have a head start and can apply more broadly and with more careful thought. (And the parents can keep an eye on the process now or hire someone else to do so.) [/quote]
