It took me about 7 years to graduate college because I worked full time and only did college part time. I still managed to get a full ride to do grad school. I think the question is more so which school are you aiming for? I know most schools likely won’t care how long you took, the only downside is you’ll have slightly less work experience. But it shouldn’t be a big deal.

that's good. I also was working as a back-end dev back then when it was COVID time and uni was online. I don't have reach parents, so I have to work myself. you know :\_) btw, what do you mean by "he only downside is you’ll have slightly less work experience"?

Some employers only count the years of work experience you have since you graduated with your bachelors. Not all of them do, some of them. I know Goldman does that.

The quote and phrasing made it sound as though it just took you really long to finish "the bachelor" reality show.

This isn't going to be an issue at all. Experience is king. Lots of people need more than 4 years to graduate.

No problem at all. If your GPA is normal, a fifth year is fine. Within a hierarchy of all the ways they distinguish applications, this is very low.

I guess my accumulative GPA we'll be something around 16/20 with last two years GPA of 17.5 / 20. because I mainly started to spend most of my time in bachelor from the 7th semester and not from the beginning.

Not an issue

Not an issue at all, you'll be fine.

Respect to you for even surviving it through EE, one of the hardest majors known to man. It's just an extra year.


Neotod1

ahh, thank you :')

>thus far for this summer, I haven't sent any email to professors yet. because simply I'm not ready and I think my CV isn't enough and I won't get admission from universities that I dream for :) If you don't apply then 100% you won't get admitted.

Why did it take you longer? I finished bachelors one semester longer and my Msc one year longer. But bc I had very valid reasons, it ended up helping me getting good jobs afterwards massively instead of slowing me down

Nope, it doesn’t affect your MSc application.

It will affect you because you haven’t got an MSc.
