<p>What do Yale feel about working for a year after high school, at a newspaper for me, as i want to be a creative writing/journalism major?</p>
<p>Also if i get rejected when i apply in senior year, then work for a year and apply in the following autumn, will this strengthen or weaken my chances?</p>
<p>Yale is fine with gap years. If you have an upward trajectory in grades and want them to see your entire senior year and if you are doing something cool, a gap year could help your chances.</p>
<p>Anecdotally from CC and my real world observations, people who don’t get in senior year don’t get in again if the reapply after a gap year.</p>
