@LAMuniv Thank you for replying to me Yes, I am new to the gap year community haha. I am doing a part-time job at Vodafone UK call center, an auditor at the American University in Cairo, learning Turkish language and learning to play the piano. My list seems short I know haha, but I also have other activities like Coking Club, Reading Club and Competitive College Club, but these were not started during gap year. I guess I am doing my best and trying to concentrate my efforts.
@viphan and @anduar3 Thank you for replying and for the warm welcome haha
Good luck, my fellow gap yearers! Todayās the day! Remember, whatever happens, youāre all awesome-sauce, and weāll all end up at the right school at the end
Congrats @LAMuniv! I got rejected by my ED school, but oh wellā¦ moving on! Thankfully, I finished all of my RD apps and I sent them, my SAT scores, and my CSS Profile to all my RD schools almost right after I received the decision.
I got rejected :)) I love Columbia, but it wonāt be part of my undergraduate experience. Itās time to move on.
@LAMunivā Congrats! I hope the gap-year helped ya
@Anduar3ā Donāt worry, you will either end up at Brown or somewhere better!
@dancingwriterā Weāre in the same boat! Letās move on to RD
Gap year this past year as I was diagnosed with leukemia in late May of my senior year. After undergoing a bone marrow transplant Iām now in remission. I wrote a great essay about the experience and am wondering if itās worth applying to UNC Chapel Hill and UVA with a 2040 SAT and a 93.1 GPA. Lemme know what you think and good luck everyone
A couple of my friends came back for winter break! I was really excited to meet up with them to catch up, but after talking with them, it just made me so jealous that theyāre in college and getting to experience all these new things while Iām at home, not really doing anything special (every dayās the same). Haha. August had better come quick! I want to go to college already! Are any of you feeling this way? Oh, and on top of it all, Iām worried about being the oldest in my class. Iāll be 20 for the majority of my freshman yearā¦
Yea, Iāve completed avoided Facebook so as not to see any dorm photos or pictures from any frat parties. Itās hard because you want to be happy for your friends but at the same time you look at your life and canāt help but be jealous.
Lol letās not talk about age because Iām turning 21. Luckily I look like Iām 18 when I shave my beard haha
Iām 19 now and will be 20 for most of my freshman year but I look really young. I got handed the 12 and under kids menu the other day (Applebees. Sigh). Plus, I really donāt think people care. Itās just one year and one year matters less and less as you get older.
I met up with a girl whoās interested in being my roommate next year. Sheās really nice and Iām super excited! At the beginning of this year I was super jealous of my friends at college too but once you have a class of your own it feels so much better. Merry Christmas everyone!
So Iām a senior right now in highschool, but Iāve been seriously considering a gap year. My plan would be to teach English in China for 6 months through a teachaway organization. Then I would travel (via trains, hostels, couch surfing, backpacking, planes, ect.) to London in a round about way for the next 6. Iāve been saving up and gathering gear. However, I know that in order to fund my college education (iāll be applying before I leave) that Iāll need a considerable amount of scholarships. I was going to apply for a ton of little ones, but Iām pretty sure if I was granted any I would loose them if I took a gap year. What should I do?
