<p>Yes, I received a call last week offering me a place in the class of 2016 (though the term “z-list” is never mentioned). Since Harvard was my #1 choice, I didn’t have to think twice about their request that I take a gap year. Now, I am so grateful to H for opening my eyes to the possibilities. I’ve already connected with current H students who have already taken a gap year, and without exception, they said they would not have had it any other way. I guess things happen for a reason!</p>
