<p>I was deferred from Yale EA, then rejected :-( Yale has always been my dream school, so I am considering taking a gapyear and then applying again in the fall. What kind of activites/travel/job should I do during the gapyear that will make me a better applicant? Also, I turned down a modeling contract w/ a prestigous NY modelling agency b/c I thought I would be headed to college next year... do you think it would be a good idea if I joined the agency, (hopefully) have some success, and then apply again?</p>
<p>Same here, I guess I have no other option (got mostly rejections). I wish the Yale site would work, so I could find out exactly where I stand with Yale.</p>
<p>Gee I'm in the same boat as you guys. I might have to take a gap year. Do you think it would help if I studied until I get a 2300+ on my SAT? I'm pretty desperate and it seems as if my life up to this point is falling apart at the seams.</p>
