  1. So I'm a rising senior math and statistics major hoping/planning on pursuing a PhD in statistics. I've been dealing with multiple significant physical and mental health conditions throughout college that are getting progressively worse (I really should be taking medical leave next year but it's not financially possible for me) and I feel like I would need 2 gap years: one to do little to nothing but try to get my health to a place where grad school is feasible and one where I'd be applying to grad schools and continuing to try and get my health in order. Is taking 2 years off without adding anything to my resume (wouldn't be able to work much if at all, might do some personal data analysis projects but likely nothing more than that and/or making some money doing math tutoring) going to screw up my chances of admission? Is there anything I can do to mitigate that? I'm already not the greatest candidate due to how my health issues affected my grades/classes/research throughout college and am worried that 2 gap years will do a lot of damage to my already less than exceptional application and I'd really appreciate any advice you can give. Thanks!
