<p>So, I was thinking, dangerous, I know...</p>
<p>Anyway, I was planing on taking a gap year for religious activities. Except that I would want to take it at the end of my freshman year. From what I've read, this is fine, and I shouldn't have much trouble. But, I just realized that, would I want to tell admissions this? Or is that something that they don't want to hear. Thank you.</p>
<p>Don't worry about telling them now. You'd arrange it with MIT after you were admitted and attending. Of course, you're free to bring it up if you want -- it wouldn't be a negative factor -- but if you don't have a natural place to mention it, I wouldn't worry about it one way or the other.</p>
<p>Are you Mormon? I knew a couple of Mormon kids at MIT who took time off to do their missions, no problem.</p>
<p>Yep, that's it exactly.</p>
<p>Thank you very much.</p>
