[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never hear people disparaging gap years. My kid at an Ivy and is not taking one, and if anything, felt pressured to even though not needed. They started working as an EMT prior to college, got research early on, so checked all boxes with leadership and volunteering. They’d rather get going as it’s a long road, has maturity, doesn’t want to waste time or money proving that with some additional experience. [/quote]

Great choice! Neither is mine, advisor said would get into top schools without it. They started early with research. [b]The only top students who take a gap either realized they wanted premed late or tried/trying for paid fellowships that will fully cover a gap year at Cambridge or similar, as they never got to go abroad, gives them a mental break of sorts and time to travel.[/b] Mine would rather get on with it, travel after senior year before med school starts, with money they have saved from TA and research job. [/quote]

This is objectively false.[/quote]
