Taking a year of between finishing school and starting university is a waste of students' time. to what extent do you agree or disagree?

In today's societies, there is a rising issue related to

students

that prefer to take a gap

year

before applying to universities. The biggest reason behind

this

decision is

students

are preparing their application to their dream schools or even to the ivy league in the US. I totally agree regarding taking a

year

before starting to apply and I will elaborate on my point of view below.

To begin

with, nowadays's requirements to apply to renowned universities become undoubtedly more challenging and become more demanding. That being said,

students

need to acquire some level of basic test, excellent GPA, and

also

sufficient experience in the research field.

Thus

, if you want to apply to top universities

while

you do not have these particular application checklists, the best suggestion is to take a step back and prepare all of the documents in a

year

.

Furthermore

, you can reap another benefit

such

as you can dig deeper into the major that you want to take for either your diploma or bachelor's degree. It is totally understandable if you have not found your passion and your destination in high school.

This

may happen because

students

are giving their full attention to their studies in spite of thinking about their goals in

further

studies.

To sum up

, not every student is ready to continue their

further

studies after graduating from high school. By taking a gap

year

, they are given a chance to analyze their goals. Not only they can be accepted at one of the best educational institutions, but they

also

can find their passion and follow it in the coming 3 to 4 years in college.
