[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think your son is acting mature at all. He took the easy way out — working in a familiar setting with grandparents and cousins. [b]I’m not a big fan of gap years because college passes very quickly and all the friends and acquaintances have moved on and matured. [/b]His ego is hurt. I get that. But colleges are a business and admissions get harder not easier. Revisit the college. Take a deferral if you can. You don’t know whether the next cycle will be better than this one. Your best chance is right after HS. I think as parents your fears are legitimate. GL. [/quote] This is a big one. It’s really lonely when all your HS friends & acquaintances are away at college, “progressing” through life and you’re not. [/quote]
