<p>Hello! I am still super pumped about being accepted to UVA! I really hope my financial aid package will allow me to attend; I'm somewhat nervous considering the new loan policy that is starting this year. Anyway, that's not why I'm making this post. I was wondering if it's possible for an admitted student to take a gap year and not have to reapply the following year? I would really love to do overseas volunteer work for a year before college, and if I'm able to afford UVA (fingers crossed), I'm just wondering if a gap year would be a possibility. This question is directed towards Dean J because I don't know if anyone else on here would be able to answer this for me. </p>
<p>Gap years aren’t a big deal at all. You can write to Dean Roberts to set things in motion. :)</p>
<p>In the future, you can reach me via my blog, twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and email. I typically don’t respond to call out threads here because I don’t check in regularly. I happened to check in a couple times today.</p>
<p>Thank you so much! 
</p>
<p>I do follow you on your blog a good bit! I don’t have Facebook or Twitter, so I can’t contact you through that means, and I’ve not been able to find your email address.</p>
<p>That’s why I’m on all those different platforms. Feel free to comment on the blog.</p>
<p>There have also been threads about gap years here in the UVa forum before. :)</p>
