<p>I read that most gap year students apply in their senior year and request a defer. However, I am already in my gap year, since I am an international and have just decided to apply. Is it totally ok to apply now and get admitted for next Fall? Just to make sure.</p>
<p>Yes applying now is completely fine! I’m in the same situation (international as well). All we have to do extra is to write a bit about our gap year in the common application.</p>
<p>Thanks for telling me!</p>
