<p>If a student took a semester off, can he or she still apply as a transfer student to MIT? If during the semester off the student took one or two classes at a different college, does that count as a semester of college and effect the student’s transfer eligibility?</p>
<p>Yes and yes.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>If anyone has taken a semester off and then successfully transferred please share your story and your initial decision to take time off from college. In addition, please discuss what you did during your time off that helped you to transfer.</p>
