Take a year off college?

Question

i want to reapply to a school i got rejected to last year but have to wait a year because they only accept people in the fall. if i work that year and not go to school. when i apply i would still be a freshman. what are my chances of getting accepted? are they lessened by me having taken that year off school?

Answer 1

Take the year off! Some schools are encouraging this break from education, really !

Just show a good consistent form of entertaining your active role is trying acceptance!

If you feel like u need to take the break GO FOR IT !!

Good luck. enjoy your life and live to it;;s fullest !!

Answer 2

You can always go to a junior college and then after that go to the university. Get good grades in your junior college and that will help alot.

Answer 3

It would be a better idea, academically, to go to a local community college and get straight As. That would give you a better chance to get in.

Edit:

Doing very well at a CC will probably make it easier. Why postpone school? A minimum wage job (I'm guessing) for a year will make you what? Maybe 20,000? Wow. Why push back school for a year? And you wouldn't enter as a junior, you'd be a sophomore. Also, even if you enter as a freshman you'd still be a year older. What's the difference?

Edit:

You'll still be able to get in somewhere. A local state college probably would accept you pretty much no matter what if you could afford it. If you want to go to a university, you'll probably have to go to a CC, for a year, maybe even two, and get straight As throughout.

That's just the way it works. Universities don't just accept people off the street.

Answer 4

If you got rejected from the school last year, I would have applied to a different univerity the same year and wouldn't want to go back to that school.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't recommand a break from college... I mean you'll get spring, winter, and summer break. Although if you really need it, then go ahead.
