Hey guys,
I am seriously thinking of taking a gap year between high school and college. I just wanted to know if there are any bad impressions on application if someone has taken a Gap year ?? If so is there any way to cover up for that ?
A lot of Ivies and top schools are actually coming around to seeing the benefits of gap years, and encourage their students to take them. Gap years can help you get your head on your shoulders and be more prepared mentally for college than if you went straight out of high school. Plus, if you’re not sure yet, it gives you an opportunity to try things out and figure out what you want to do with your life before you commit loads of time and energy to courses you will eventually grow to despise. In the end, if your prospective school seems to have a negative attitude about it, just do your best to explain how it’s helped you grow as a person. 
Ok thanks !
