Will missing out one semester hurt me?

<p>I really don’t know what you mean. If you have to start grad school one year later, it will not be a problem for the grad school admissions but you will be in school one year longer and you will start work one year later. As stated above, many people miss a semester or a year of school either purposefully for a gap year or because of an unforeseen circumstance. Right now I’d stop agonizing about something that already happened and I’d stop thinking too far ahead…just get to college and then see how things play out. There are many people out there who don’t have the opportunity to attend college at all so count your blessings, take advantage of your opportunity, stop feeling bad for yourself, and move ahead with confidence.</p>
