<p>Hey,</p>
<p>If i take a year off before going to college, will colleges then primarily focus on my senior year grades and my year-off expiereince. I am planning on attenting a biomedical science college in India do do some medical research and community service. I will be finishing with 8 APS before entering college, all studied through my 8th grade and year off. I had maintained a 90 average senior year, but junior and sophmore year, my grades were an 86,87. So I was wondering how top colleges like Cornell, JHU, Penn, or Duke respond to taking a year off?</p>
