<p>“You mean to tell me I might can still get into grad school despite having to miss a semester cause of unexpected causes that wasn’t my fault?”</p>
<p>People miss semesters all the time due to unexpected causes. They have health issues. They have loved ones who have health issues. </p>
<p>A close friend passed away 2 years ago after a 9 month battle with cancer. Her son was a college sophomore at the time and he missed a semester to be with her, knowing her time was limited, and then missed the next semester because he was helping his family plan for the care of his disabled adult sibling (who my friend cared for full time before she took ill). So he’s graduating later than he planned. IT HAPPENS. Be glad your reasons aren’t like this. </p>
<p>Asked and answered. Move on.</p>
