[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is seriously considering taking a gap.  She is currently going through the college application process and has been accepted to her school of choice (which includes Honor's College and the highest merit).  However, she just wants to take a year to work a bit before getting into the college grind.  She currently has a job (i.e. retail job), but she is also planning on taking some drawing classes at NOVA or going through animation mentor.  While she has a pretty strong portfolio, she wants to keep improving on her skills.  If she takes a gap year, she will most likely defer acceptance - but she needs to figure out if her honor's college admission and merit scholarships can also get deferred.  Also, [b]I think some schools have restrictions on taking college classes during the gap year - so need to make sure that she is allowed (before signing up for art classes at NOVA).  There is a gap fair on Tuesday evening (I think at Marshall High School).[/b]  [/quote]

Schools often restrict the number of college credits you can earn during the gap year. They don't/can't tell you not to do something. They just won't give you credit.

Is the gap fair open to everyone or just Marshall HS students?[/quote]
