Will missing out one semester hurt me?

<p>Grad schools won’t care that you are older when you get your undergrad degree. They will care about how well you did in college, especially in subjects related to your major. As an undergrad schools you want to transfer to also will not care about your age, they will care about your gpa. Also- remember that as you mature with various life experiences be sure to keep reevaluating your goals. Feel free to change your proposed major and future plans based on what you learn during your college years. The only way being away from any college can hurt you is if you let your academic skills deteriorate. Keep your mind active during this time between formal educational opportunities.</p>
