I have been a full time freshman student for the first semester of 2015 but will be returning home due to personal reasons and will be a part time student in the spring. When i go to apply to colleges for the fall of 2016 with a full time status, will only being a part time student (at a local university) affect their decision to admit me or would they see it as someone who could’ve taken the entire semester off and worked but instead chose to work and go to school as well? I will have about a 3.0 after my first semester of college.
Do you mean that you will be applying as a transfer student for the fall of 2016? Schools will clearly want to know why you took a partial load. If you have a reasonable explanation, I’m sure they are prepared to hear it.
