The Lure of the Gap Year

Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation from Harvard Admission Office

Short-term consultation is a great choice for students who have a focused area of interest. It requires knowing exactly what you want to do before the search takes place. The short-term consultation includes:

· One initial conversation to define and clarify your goals for your time off.
· One comprehensive search of Taking Off's database of potential options.
· One informational packet regarding relevant opportunities.
· Three follow-up conversations to be used at any time.

The first meeting is an informational session to ensure that the packet we create for you contains many well-suited opportunities. Once you review your packet there are three follow-up conversations to discuss your choices and develop a plan. This is a service for students who know what they want, have strong organizational skills, and are detail-oriented.

Full service includes unlimited consultation to clarify, craft, and implement a well thought out plan for whatever the length of your time off.

In addition, during the course of your time off we provide information, support, and restructuring opportunities, as necessary.

When we contact you we will review the above options in more detail and explain why a particular fee structure might work best for you.

If you decide to work with Taking Off all fees must be paid in full before we begin. Because the initial time involved is so front-end loaded there are no refunds.

Whatever your choice, we wish you the best and thank you for your interest in Taking Off.
