So confused...what should I do?

Applying to College
1

<p>I was supposed to attend college (as a freshman) in the fall, but I had to defer my enrollment for the spring due to the fact that my father had some financial issues and could not afford my tuition. Now that these issues are resolved, he can thankfully pay the tuition without any issue. The thing is, a part of me is contemplating deferring another semester again and go in the fall 2013. I don't know if this is a good idea or not. I guess I'm worried that if I go now in the spring I won't have a traditional college experience, and I will not graduate in time because I'll always have an extra semester to complete (compared to other people). Yet, I almost feel ungrateful if I defer again. In your opinion, what is the best thing to do? </p>

<p>By the way...I plan to attend law school after college, and that's why the whole not graduating in time thing is worrying me...I'm concerned that it will affect my college applications for law school.</p>

<p>Are you planning to live on campus? Is that why you are worried about the college experience?</p>

<p>Don’t worry about getting into grad school now. When you started and finished is not relevant when you apply</p>

<p>Unless there is a real reason for you to defer again, why not just get started?</p>

<p>I understand where you are coming from. If I was on your position, I would start in the fall. That way, everyone would be new and I would be there to form friendships and experience the first semester. I would work or something this semester.</p>
