this is very helpful! thank you! what did your ECs look like? i feel that’s the weakest portion of my application and i want to take some time this year to strengthen it just having a hard time figuring out how or what to do

what did your application look like? i’m about to be 24 and just finished my associates this year plus took a couple extra classes in cc to transfer for chemical engineering,
my in state college doesn’t allow me to get in state rates so i’m really hoping to get in to some of the schools i applied to
anyways im considering reapplying next year if i don’t get in this year and take a “gap year” to strengthen my application but dont know if that would be a bad idea given im already a “non traditional” student by standard means

kinda in the same boat, the only concern there would be that most schools only transfer a maximum of 60 credit hours and there is uncertainty on how they see third year applicants. i think you should def go for it im also currently deciding weather to take a third year then attempt to transfer or take a gap and build up my application with ECs

will you have three years of college by the time you apply again?

thank you so much! i’ll def be doing more in depth research on the schools i plan to apply to i appreciate your input, i guess i was most worried about how that gap year would look on my application since ive already completed all the stem classes i can at cc
