Hi,
I've completed one year of undergrad. I started in engineering but have now decided that I want to pursue math. Before continuing, I want to take a year off to refocus and take care of other aspects of my life. I feel like I will do better if I take a year off. On the other hand, I enjoy school and know I will really be interested in what I am learning if I return right away.
There are many advantages to taking a year off, including that I would be better prepared when I go back and my course sequence would work out more nicely. The only thing I'm wondering about is whether grad schools will look upon taking a year off to work and maybe travel negatively. I will be looking to getting into a very good grad school and potentially going into academia, so it is important to me.
Any input would be appreciated!
Thank you :)
