[quote=Anonymous]My kid went to a Big 3 and wanted to do a gap year after being accepted to an ivy, but we could not afford to have him volunteer. We told him he would need to find a job. After he did a job search, he changed his mind and went directly to college, where he did very well. For kids at my son's school there seem to be two groups that do a gap year: wealthy kids who are already accepted to college, and take a year off to pursue a particular interest; or kids who didn't get in to a college that satisfied their parents, and are doing some thing intensely academic to try to improve their chances. I feel sorry for the second group.[/quote]
