<p>I plan to go to another country to study without a doubt after senior year. Should I apply before or after I graduate? On the one hand, almost all individuals who take a gap year get accepted into college and then defer their admissions. On the other hand, one doesn't get the opportunity to right about studying abroad on their college application.</p>
<p>I would apply straight fromhigh school, but make sure that the school to which you are applying will defer students- NOT ALL DO</p>
<p>The pros of doing it in high school far outwigh the con- including acess to your teachers who'll be writing refs, cheaper postage, a guidance counslor.... etc.</p>
<p>besides- you might not choose to write about being abroad anyways....</p>
<p>unless... you're only going abroad for the college bonus.</p>
