<p>Anybody have experience being accepted and deciding to start a year later? What kind of commitment do you have to make? Anything to prevent you from applying elsewhere and dropping your deferred enrollment?</p>
<p>I know someone from my home state, who’s now a sophomore, who was required to wait a year before coming to Brown. She spent her gap year working and learning new skills, and she’s so far really been enjoying her time here, from what I can tell. Sorry I can’t be more specific, but I’ve only talked with her a few times, and I don’t know of anyone else specifically who took a gap year/why they did.</p>
