thinking about taking a Gap year then applying ot college during it

<p>Okay so right now my GPA is about 3.2-3.3 and I am currently a senior in high school. I am interested in a gap year not as a way to get ahead in college, even though if it happens then taht is great, but as a way to take a year off and explore career options, etc... Lately I've been feeling really burnt out and stressed about college applications and I think a year off is much needed for me. I have always been very focused, not so much grade wise, but defintley in learning and community service. I use to want to go to law school but now I'm not so sure. I am thinking about either Public Allies or City Life because these are two groups that interest me very much. If anyone can offer any insight to me as to these two programs (I've looked on website Im looking for personal experience) and on how it is gettin back into academics after gap year and how you felt being a year behind, friends, peers, etc.. </p>

<p>Any help is most apreciated!!!</p>
