post-undergraduate gap year

Graduate School
1

<p>so I’m the most exhausted I will ever be my fourth year, and I’m trying to manage all my ambitions, organisational commitments and so forth I haven’t even applied for the financial waivers for the tests that I will be taking (since I am a low-income student). Is it advisable to wait till the next cycle to apply?</p>

<p>I do not really want to do hardcore applications in my fourth year. I mean preferably I’ll stick around for research or find an internship the following summer or find something academically productive – but of course what I can only speculate what I’ll be doing that 5th year instead.</p>

<p>Taking a gap year doing research work is a very common thing. It’s good for experience and the fact that you get one more year of grades on your transcripts which if you do well will improve your GPA.</p>
