Could a Gap Year be Right for You?

Last year Valerie Strauss from the Washington Post interviewed Laura Hosid of Vinik EPS about the increasingly popular trend of U.S. students taking a gap year between high school and college.  Her article can be found here:  A Primer on Gap Years.  Many colleges are supportive of this idea -- in fact, Tufts University just announced that it will fund gap years for some admitted students as part of its new 1 + 4 program.
