<p>I have a strange but interesting story I believe. Basically, I graduated in 2010 but I didn’t enroll in college/uni because my family and I won the green card lottery and part of the process required us to leave the country, move back to Spain, as well as spend a substantial amount of money for the fees. So I had to postpone my dream of studying at a university for about 2 years. However, to show my commitment and mainly because I didn’t want colleges to base my application on grades that were 2 years old I self-studied for the two APs (bio and psychology), the 2 SAT IIs (bio and chemistry) and the SAT I. I shadowed many doctors and surgeons as well as volunteered at different departments at a hospital. My goal was to apply to colleges once my parents were financially stable. Meanwhile I tutored chemistry and spanish to help out. Now, that their financial state is better, I’m looking to apply to colleges. I’m going to explain this to the universities in my main essay.</p>
<p>Do you reckon this would hurt me?</p>
