Finally, especially for a student who is well suited to do something less-structured, it's always worth highlighting the gap year counselors that are out there: they know their craft and we're working through a formal accreditation process for them to become certified by the GYA. Generally, though, they often end up saving money and hassle in the long run, and some have charging rates that bill by the hour or in packages (small all the way up to comprehensive). www.gapyearassociation.org/gap-year-consultants.php
