@fatherofsam I’m not sure why you think Olin doesn’t “allow” students to take classes during their gap year. My understanding is they do allow it, and even if they didn’t they couldn’t police it anyway. And here’s a link to a gap year blog on the Olin site that talks specifically about taking classes: http://www.olin.edu/blog/olin-admission/post/gap-year-part-2-time-flying/ And I share in being sorry for the thread hijack, but I couldn’t leave the bad info up there.
