Do I need to explain my gap time?

[liu1993918]

Hi, instructors.
I have graduated from university since July. I did not try to find a job after graduation, but focus on my application to grad school.
I am worried my gap time will weaken my profile.
Can you tell me whether I need to explain my gap time in optional essay, clarifying why I did not apply for grad school in junior year?
Or should I clarify this in Personal Statement?
Thanks in advance.

BTW. Will you evaluate a profile from applicant other than MBA?

Hi there,

It will always be a good idea to explain any gaps in employment/life when applying to graduate school. Schools want to know what you've been doing with your time, and what you'll do until the program actually starts. And to be honest, it can sometimes be challenging to apply from a position of unemployment, though it may depend upon the program and your situation etc. But likely you'd want to do something before the program starts right so maybe you'll find employment, or could at least look into a volunteering opp or internship, or do some research??

We do help clients to other Masters degrees in the business field, or data analytics, finance etc, just let us know what you are interested in.
