[quote=Anonymous]Most gap years are kids who have been accepted somewhere and defer, not kids who hope to go to a competitive college by applying the year after they graduate. Unless you have a spectacular story about what you are doing in your gap year ("I didn't get in to Stanford and didn't have any other options" isn't a good one), or have health or family issues that made it impractical, typically your application is not improved by waiting a year. I'm sure there are exceptions to this but it's not an option I would bank on. The OP seems to have disappeared so perhaps she/he was a troll.[/quote]
