<p>Hey guys, so I'll be accepting my spot at Cornell soon, but I'm going to take a year off for a year of umm stuff. Anyway, I know I need to send in my acceptance thing by may 1st. I read on the site that I just need to send them a letter saying I'll defer after sending in my rsvp thing. But I'm a little confused on a few things. on the card it says that students that want to defer might have to pay a higher deposit, how will I do that if I send my deposit in with my card? Will I just get another bill or something? and do I need to send this letter for deferral before May 1st? hopefully someone here has had experience with gap years.</p>
