Gap Semester Before Transferring

With everything happening with Coronavirus and all of my classes being moved online, I started considering taking a gap semester to continue the internship I am currently working on. I spent my first year at NC State University and was planning to transfer this fall, though now it isn’t making as much sense. With that being said, I am planning to transfer for spring 2021 and was wondering if taking a gap semester would hinder my chances of getting into places. Thanks so much!

Lots of students will be making this same decision this year. It will not make anything easier for you or harder for you. Do what you feel is best given your own situation.
