Gap Years: Coming Soon
What are they? How can they help you? Why should you take them?

I'm here to tell you that there is absolutely nothing at all wrong with "taking a year off." I air quote the last part because if a gap year is done efficiently--AKA if you use it to become a stellar applicant--then it is anything but taking time off. It is hard work. But, it definitely pays off when you're the one invited for Interview Day.
Maybe taking a gap year isn't for you. But, maybe it'll be the opportunity to demonstrate your growth as an individual and applicant to the admissions committee.
