@twoinanddone @AlmostThere2018 thank you so much for your kind replies. Personally I’m leaning towards a gap year myself but I think my parents want me to go to a CC, do you know what the chances are of getting a scholarship or aid after going to a CC and transferring after getting an associates? My parents have been told that you tend to get very good scholarships so they think that’s the best route for me, which I really don’t want to do.
