<p>I goofed off in my first 1.5 years of college, and through persistance and turning things around, i am finally back on track. I looked at everything i need to take and set up a reasonable courseload (completely manageable, not unrealistic) and it looks like i will have my B.S. after a TOTAL of 6 years.</p>
<p>I feel like most people do not graduate in four years, and may take another semester or even year to graduate.</p>
<p>I just want to see somebody who can relate so i don't feel so bad about this.</p>
<p>My major is Chemistry </p>
<p>and i went from a sub-2.0 to a current 3.5</p>
<p>thanks :)</p>
<p>My cousin was in college for 10 years because he had no idea what he wanted to major in, until the last 4 years. His final semester at his university is this coming fall.</p>
<p>You can find statistics on 4 year and 6 year graduation rates at various schools. Note that these are calendar years taken to graduate.</p>
<p>Some people take 8 semesters or 12 quarters of school, but take longer than 4 calendar years to graduate, due to taking a semester or quarter off for co-op jobs or internships or whatever.</p>
<p>Others take more than 8 semesters or 12 quarters of school, perhaps because they attended part time for some of their semesters or quarters (especially those who started at community college while also working).</p>
<p>Well looking at the people in my CC I doubt it. I still see people here that went to my high school and graduated a year or two before me. And I met quite a number of students here that have been going to multiple CC’s for 4-5 years. Of course most of my friends are science majors so finishing the pre reqs take longer (especially at my CC) but in general people do not get out in 2 years.</p>
<p>I’ve only met ONE girl who got out in two years. She graduated in 08 like me but at the CC she didn’t take Physics or a bunch of bio classes and she got into UCLA. She’ll probably end up spending three years there anyway.</p>
