I was just wondering if you would have taken off the semester regardless of trying to transfer. If you weren’t, the question was how you would feel if you didn’t get in and how it would impact your plans. Taking a semester off would have had multiple impacts on me, but your situation is likely different.

If you take a semester off and are hoping to transfer to an elite college, I’d do something extremely impressive so you don’t look unfocused. However, admissions probably understands if you have financial problems and need to work.
