<p>I took a three year break after graduating hs mostly due to depression, general lack of apathy towards existence. I rarely left the house mostly due to my body (I was 365 at my max) and just hatred of being human, if that makes sense. However, since then I 've lost half my body weight and have a new lease on life. I've excelled at my local community college(30 credits 4.0gpa at the moment) and am currently applying to some of the best schools in the country. Do I fit the mold of what GS is looking for or am I better off applying to CC? </p>
<p>ps- I'm 22 going on 23, so I definately think I can fit in with the "youngins" at CC. ;)</p>
<p>Since you’ve taken that much time off, as far as I know, you have to apply to GS.</p>
<p>Damn, is there anyway I could convince them to let me apply to CC?</p>
<p>I’m really not sure, but I don’t think so. Other people on this forum who have applied to CC with a year off have had their applications transferred to CC. I suppose you could call and ask? Apparently it is possible to transfer to CC once you’re at GS, but why not just go to GS?</p>
<p>Do you think you could try to convince them? </p>
<p>Honestly, you need to reevaluate your purpose for returning to school. If it’s to fit in with “youngins” with winky emoticons, you’re digging yourself a deep hole here. </p>
<p>You don’t have a choice. It’s not a matter of being better off to do one or the other. You have to apply to GS.</p>
