All in gap year info
In crafting their gap year deferral letter, students should come up with some achievable goals (at least 2-3) and ensure their gap year plan reflects those goals.
Be sure to lay out a clear plan for your gap time and provide specific programs or experiences you intend to participate in during your gap year.
Convey why gap time is important to achieving your goals. How will your gap year experiences be different from what you could experience or achieve with college classes?
