<p>My son got accepted to a top 20 U, but is going to have to defer a year due to financial reasons. He is looking for a gap year program where he can improve his Spanish skills, and possibly do something in a medical clinic, since he plans to be pre-med. I searched CC, but the only program I saw mentioned by name is City Year, and it doesn't seem to be what he's looking for. I googled "gap year", but was overwhelmed by the large number of programs. Does anyone have any experience with or any suggestions for a program that would suit his needs? Also does anyone have any suggestions for how to finance a gap year? Thanks!</p>
