[quote=Anonymous]I think it's becoming more common among many students in this area, including kids graduating from a range of schools. In almost all cases, these students have already applied to college and been accepted. They work as volunteers at a range of different organizations, travel in the US and overseas, and in some cases work at "grunt" jobs to help pay for their travel (e.g., bussing tables, clerking at Giant, etc.). I don't know a single kid who's done this who regrets it , and their parents are just as enthusiastic. For many kids who've been in highly competitive high schools, the gap year is a chance to think about what they really want to do with their lives -- not just what they should be doing in order to gain admission to a selective college.
