<p>Hi! I was accepted to Harvard class of 2015 (!!!), but I really want to volunteer for a year and defer my admission. Does anybody know when that deadline to defer admissions is? And is it done by just sending a letter?
Thank you so much!</p>
<p>I seem to recall that you needed to check a third box online and send a letter discussing your intent to the admissions office.</p>
<p>If you’re sure you want a gap year, you’ll be doing a favor to someone on the waitlist by letting Harvard know as soon as possible.</p>
