JackieW Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 So, I just graduated with my BA, applied for Fall 2009 grad school, didn't get in, and am reapplying for Fall 2010, blah blah blah. Very common story, I suspect. Anyway, so my plan was to work in the meantime. However, this also means I will be out of school for a year--- something I'm not exactly used to at the moment. SO, I was thinking of taking a course at the local community college, just to occupy my time. I was wondering if graduate schools, however, would frown upon this--- would it look weird if I was taking a community college level course when I already had my B.A.? Just wanted some thoughts from you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankdux Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 If it's in something you haven't yet studied, then i wouldn't see the problem. Why not take some computer science classes? Or get a jump start on a foreign language requirement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewurgler Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I took french courses at community college in the interim. I can't imagine they gave a shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingGrad2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 My acceptance package actually included information about the local community college in case there were languages or any other subjects needed to brush up on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper.milvain Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 There's a lot to be said for taking some time completely off school to clear your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
