Im a junior HS student from Monterrey, Mexico. Im strongly thinking about taking a gap year, after my senior year, with a catholic youth organization (legion of christ); it’s some form of community service. One isn’t able to decide where to go; it may be either in a small town of Mexico or in Rome.

How would admissions officers look at it?
