[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been advised gap years are a really hard platform to apply to college (very hard to get good teacher recs for one). Most kids we know who took a gap year deferred admission.[/quote] A kid would apply regularly and when admitted then ask for deferred admission. I think almost any school would say OK. Also some schools encourage it. (2 examples from friends/family) An Ivy League recognized as top in a specific sport, offered admission to a player but no roster spot at that position for this year. School could only guaranteed they would be on the team if they enter the following fall. Student gladly accepted and will play and train on their sport in the meantime. UNC Chapel Hill has a flagship scholarship program that includes lots of perks, including a gap year before freshman year, where the student is given a grant and other resources to travel internationally. They will enter the following fall. [/quote]
