Gap Year or Bocconi

Hi monkeys,

Euro Monkey here, Graduated from my Bsc last summer and I have been interning since then in both MM and BB PF/NatRes/LevFin (3 Off-Cycle). I originally planed to take this year to gather some professional experience which I did but also to travel which has been postponed to nowhere due to my grandma death and bad depression.

I just got accepted to Bocconi International Management (with an average GMAT) program which I am happy with as I am quite done with IB (interested in energy strategy). I am thinking taking « another » gap year to travel and do personal projects but the offer seems to good to pass on.

I am very lost and I dont have someone who understand all the career implications to discuss this with. Advice welcome !
