My school recently announced that students won't be on campus for the entire year. I don't want to pay for full-tuition online school for a year, so would it be acceptable to delay graduation by one year and apply for SA2022? I am looking at working and traveling if I can during this break, so would be a gap-year of sorts. Would any bank look at this negatively?

If you're going to one of the most elite schools in the world I don't think that they would care at all.
Harvard kid? Feeling your pain bud. I think if you’re doing something productive (I.e don’t just say you’re going to travel and just kick back) you could spin it well. I don’t think it’s an automatic ding but still am following to hear other opinions.
assuming you go to harvard, take a gap year and do something meaningful (internships / start a non-profit etc) and it should honestly help as you develop unique talking points with a more nuanced resume
Thank you to everyone who responded so far! I'm thinking about doing something in finance for like 3-6 months and for the rest of the time traveling/studying abroad if I can. Would love to hear more from anyone who took a gap, or anyone's insights really.
how are you going to "travel" or "study abroad" or even "do something in finance" that's not remote? Many have considered gap years but its literally during covid-19 so you can't do anything besides stay home
