Yale (after mandatory gap year) vs Duke

<p>Thank you all for the responses…so apparently someone jus withdrew from yale and now i can go this year. i might jus do that now haha…tho im still thinking about the whole gap year. i feel blessed!</p>

<p>Forget the gap year – you HAVE been blessed! You were ambivalent about it anyway. Good luck at Yale!</p>

<p>^^ I agree, with no definitive plans for a productive gap year in place and you not even being sold that a gap year was a good move for you, this seems like a no-brainer. I’d enroll in Yale for next year right now, order a t-shirt and hoodie by mail (if you don’t have them already) and never look back. Congratulations.</p>

<p>Hey ! what an awesome decision to make !! :slight_smile: Well, id say that you choose yale, and do something fantastic over this year !</p>

<p>Before you totally toss the idea of a gap year, check out a website called Idealist. There are jobs and volunteer options all over the world in a wide range of interests. Maybe something will appeal, even if it isn’t related to science and medicine.</p>

<p>do not put your life on hold for a school. duke would be the way I go. you got to keep the flow going, you may wind up on a gap year that becomes 2 or 3 or 10 years long. also the studying skills will be rusty. take a gap year after college if you want. not because yale told yo to.
yale is saying to you I will go to the prom with you if the other potential dates do not work out this year.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I am curious – how did you manage to get in a situation where you are guaranteed a position? Does Yale have a delayed admission program?</p>

<p>Hey everyone, just thought I would let you all know that I will be enrolling in yale this fall!</p>

<p>hoorayy!!! great job kashmoney!</p>

<p>Congratulations. Hope you have a wonderful college experience.</p>
