针对非应届毕业生申请SUNY Fredonia 和Oswego本科专业时, 所被要求的gap year statement(空档期声明),请参考以下内容来相应提交申请。
根据维基词典, a gap year is a year before going to college or university and after finishing high school or taking a year off before going into graduate school after completing a bachelor as an undergraduate.
a.Gap year 的常见几类情况
1.高中毕业后，长于一个普通的假期，例如夏天假期或语培课程
2.高中毕业后，继续进修的某些高等教育的学分，不管是大学，大专还是职业课程；此类情况，也必须连同学分成绩单（英文）一并提交申请
3.高等教育课程期间或之后的空档，例如大学一年级期间出现的空档期，或者大一读了一个学期后没有继续读大一的空档期
b.Gap year statement 的准备格式
简明扼要的阐明即可, 偏重时间线和重点; 没有特定格式和字数限制, 例如
After graduating in June 2015 from HS, I worked for 6 months for a local restaurant and did some travel, then, in January 2016 I enrolled at XYZ college for the following two terms, ending in December 2016.
