<p>I am thinking of taking a gap year.
I've been accepted to several colleges. I received good packages in some, but some weren't as understanding of my financial situation.
If I take a gap year for personal reasons, will they evaluate my financial aid again for next year or will I get what I got this year?</p>
<p>If those are need-based scholarships, the colleges would reevaluate your financial need just as they'll do every year when you are in college.</p>
<p>Have you selected a college you want to attend and do they allow a deferral?</p>
<p>Without a written request for a deferral that is granted by one particular school (you can't agree to attend more than one school), you will have to reapply again -- and you might not be so lucky the second time applying. You might find yourself worrying about the lack of acceptances rather than lack of funds.</p>
<p>You were accepted to good schools with excellent aid -- pick your best choice and move on.</p>
