[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is easy! 1) Have him defer his acceptance, 2) He does his gap year on the farm 3) He either applies t/gets accepted to other colleges or attends the one he got into in the fall of 2024.[/quote] Didn't read the whole thread, but it seems important that this is his choice and great that he laid out a plan. I'd ask for more details on the plan, e.g. seeing them write out a timeline for when and where they would be applying to see if the options are in a reasonable range--and having a meeting with parents and the guidance counselor to go over this plan. I'd also ask them to consider community college courses or at least on-line courses over the year. Even just one course at a time can help keep study skills sharp. Math skills may be especially important to keep up. The extra time to mature and also to spend time with the grandparents could be a real gift. [/quote]
