i just wanted your inputs as to what you think of delaying a year of college for several reasons 1) to earn money 2) this time you know what schools you have to apply to to get the best scholarships and financial aid 3) gives you more focus so when you go back to college you'll WANT to study hard
these are some reasons why i'm considering to take a year off from college. the main reason being
1) i've realized that i will not be able to get enough financial aid or any scholarships for that matter (i'm just another highly-qualified asian american who's not "hispanic" or "black")
2) with the information i learned about college application this year, i can apply to schools where i stand a chance for great scholarships, special combined programs, better schools that i never considered i had a chance at.
3) it'll give me a chance to visit Pakistan where all my relatives are (that means no one besides my immediate family are in america. so grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles are all in Pakistan) and i haven't been there since 3rd grade.
What do you guys think? I haven't told my parents of this idea yet.
