Gap Year
Some students may choose to take a gap year before college, whether it is to get some work experience, volunteer, earn some money for their advanced education or travel the world and gain experiences that may help them during their degree. Some students may take a gap year because they are undecided about their subject choice or career path and need some more time to ensure they are making the right long-term decisions. Before you take the year off it is important to carefully weigh the pros and cons of your decision and the effect it may have on your college application.
