Gap year on commonapp

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

Hi everyone

I’m not sure where I should list on CommonApp that I’m currently taking a gap year.

I see two possibilities:

1.) I list it under additional information (at the end of the writing) and briefly explain why and what I’m doing during my gap year (anything else I should mention?)

2.) I list it under “education interruption” as “did/will take a gap year”. (Please indicate if your progression through secondary school was or will be delayed or interrupted in any way. )
However, I don’t see my gap year as an interruption since I’ve already graduated and had no interruption during my secondary school.

Which one is the correct way?

It looks like choice 1 is more appropriate.

Also you can always email the adcom with a very short explanation (2-3 sentences)
