<p>Hi. I’m interested in applying to Brown (perhaps ED, though i haven’t decided yet) this year. I did have a few questions for Brown students, though. If I were accepted (long shot, I know), would Brown defer admission for a year? I really want to study in Russia or the Ukraine the year after hs and want to make sure the colleges I’m applying to would allow this. Do you know of any students that have done this?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>You can definitely defer for a year, but you should check to make sure that they will let you study at another university. I think some schools have a policy that if you enroll at another university during your time away, you have to reapply as a transfer student.</p>
<p>Thanks. Actually, the programs I'm looking into would be at local high schools. Doing my first year of college in Russian would be insane.</p>
<p>Ah, then you're probably fine.</p>
<p>I took a year off last year to study in another country. They won't stop you.</p>
