<p>Hey JamesChang,
Very true. I am, of course, going to apply and am busy working on my app. But what I want are opinions from students who are/have taken a gap year, or know of someone who has. Also, in NZ very few people apply to US, so neither my school nor I have much knowledge on what US colleges think about gap year. For example, I know that Australian and NZ universities do not give it much emphasis; they see students taking a gap year often. I am not sure if US colleges would be similar in that regard.
Thanks for your post!</p>
