Is it possible to justify a two-year gap in my education with recommendation letters?
Yes, you can justify a two-year gap in your education with recommendation letters that explain your activities and achievements during that period.
Admissions committees value recommendation letters for the insights they provide beyond transcripts, especially when addressing gaps. However, it's important to also include a clear explanation in your statement of purpose about how you used your gap years productively.
Some French universities may have specific requirements for addressing gaps or submitting recommendation letters. Make sure your application matches the guidelines of each program.
