Are there the same amount of financial opportunities for students who take a gap-year?
I am currently taking a gap year from school and it has inspired me more to pursue higher education; however, it seems that my opportunities are more limited compared to students who did not take a gap year. Scheduling college visits, applying to colleges, finding scholarships that apply to my situation, and even scheduling appointments to talk to people about all the obstacles I am facing with my gap year has been a challenge. Why don't colleges recognize gap-years as an option? #college-admissions #scholarship
Should I address my upward curve in my college app?
I'm currently a high school sophomore and I'm doing much better than when I was a freshman. When I was a freshman, the worst I'd get was straight C's with a few B's here and there. I raised my GPA from a 2.8 to a 3.1 on a 4.0 scale. Currently, as a sophomore, I'm excelling in all my classes and I don't have anything lower than a B+ on any of my classes. When applying to college, should I address this upward curve whether it be on an essay or interview? #college #college-admissions #college-advice #college-application
