Hey i know this is SOO last minute but do you guys have any other ideas if I should list on common app that I will be taking a gap year or no? Would that hinder my admission?
On the common app, there’s a section for possible education interruption and it asks if you are going to take a gap year. I want to tell colleges that there might be a possibiltiy that I would like to take a gap year because of my green card process but at the same time, I don’t want colleges to be like “oh shes taking a gap year” and accept other freshman applicant…But then I don’t want to colleges to think that I will be entirely international student when I admit. Right now my family don’t sufficiently support my enrollment in colleges until our green card comes out. Once the green card comes out, I qualify for in-state tuition, can legally work and receive scholarshps/aid.
