Applying for college 1 year after HS?

Applying to College
1

<p>I may be having jaw surgery following senior year, forcing me to suspend college pursuits while recovering. Doctors estimate 9-11 months until fully able, but it could be more depending on complications or additional surgeries.</p>

<p>Questions: Will it affect my chances in applying to college 1 year after HS graduation? Do some schools let you apply but not enroll (in the event of that you are accepted) until a later date...say...1 year? </p>

<p>Lastly, do some colleges sympathize with surgeries during the school year/summer...which would render activities and e.c to the bare minimum, if at all.</p>

<p>I'll be applying to:</p>

<p>U. Chapman's Dodge College
NYU Tisch School of Arts
USC School of Cinematic Arts
UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television.
Other less-prestigious/wealthy film schools that will probably end being the only ones that accept me..: (</p>

<p>Thanks for any responses!!!</p>

<p>Can't you just apply to college senior year and then defer for a year?</p>

<p>I'm sure any college would allow you to defer for a year to recover from major surgery.</p>

3

<p>could you explain that more?</p>

<p>I'm really ignorant with these sorts of things..</p>

<p>Apply senior year like everyone else. After you get your acceptances, choose a school but tell the school you need to take a year off so you can undergo surgery and recover. I have no doubt they would let you do this.</p>

<p>Yeah collegealum nailed it</p>

<p>i had something kinda like that too. i had an injury over the summer and missed the first 7 weeks of school, as i couldnt move. so my 1st quarter grades are pretty bad, not to mention i couldn't work or do sports. i just had my counselor write that in her recommendation. and yes, you can apply to college in you senior year, and ask for deferred admission.</p>

7

<p>Do I ask before or after admission?</p>

<p>Will it affect likelihood of acceptance??</p>

8

<p>you can do it after acceptance i believe (Someone confirm)</p>

<p>I thought it was sophomore...</p>

<p>Are you completely sure?? </p>

<p>I thought the undergraduate program was like everything else. </p>

<p>anyways, back to other question!</p>

<p>yes, you need to be accepted first. then you can download/ request a deferral form.</p>

<p>Well, you could take a gap year and wait. Everyone here has completely condemned it but you have a legit. reason. Just enjoy that year if you're taking it! They will definitely want to know what you did with that year.</p>

<p>Either way, if it doesn't work out, you can go to a community college and transfer.</p>

<p>Take one year off without applying?</p>

<p>Why not apply and then take the year off...then I wouldn't be obsessing.</p>

<p>Are people who haven't applied after high school less likely to gain acceptance?!</p>

<p>Also, I would honestly like to get general reqs out of the way at the local community college. I'm not sure why people feel compelled to pay 40k for linear algebra and college history/english. </p>

<p>I can take it all for ~$200 at cc. Am I missing something here? Is there some special social benefit in paying thousands of dollars to be a freshman (and therefore take general req classes) at college?? </p>

<p>I don't understand the AP process or how the substitution works. Does 1 credit of US history AP allow you to skip the class come college?</p>
