<p>I cannot be applying to colleges until the beginning of next year so what do you suggest I should do while I wait?</p>
<p>I was thinking of working abroad somewhere...Get some cash, real life experiences ect.
Or I could be joining the Americorps and getting about $4,000 dollars for college.</p>
<p>Does volunteer experience look better on an application essay? Would you have any other ideas?</p>
