When should I apply to college?

Most Fellows choose to apply to college during their senior year. Once you're accepted, almost all colleges have a straightforward process to request a one-year deferral to take a gap year. If you do not get admitted to the college of your choice, Global Citizen Year will support you in applying to college during your gap year. Past Fellows can attest that a year abroad gives you great perspective on what you want out of college, and will only strengthen your application.
