[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm all in favor of gap years, esp. for students who could use a bit more maturing to get the most out of college (academically and otherwise). That said, only the richest students consider a gap year. Your kid gets marked by some as a dilettante by peers in the US. I don't know if that's different in the UK . . . . [/quote] I know kids who took gap years to earn money for college, or to help their family through challenging times, or to serve religious missions, so I don’t see them as just for rich kids. I also don’t think that kids who have a lot of money suffer socially for it. OP should just ask. Once the kid is accepted there is no harm in asking. Plenty of students take gap years in the US and most schools will say yes, but if they say no there was still no harm in asking.[/quote]
