Graduate Students in the College Program??

[disneyrocksmysocks]

I know that the college program is primarily designed for undergrads but can you participate if you are a post-grad? I have heard that you can apply right before you graduate so that you can go the next semester, but that isn't really an option for me because of scheduling conflicts. Just curious if I could take a community college course or something after I graduate so I can apply? Thanks!

My daughter applied for her second CP during her last quarter of grad school, so it's no problem that you're not an undergraduate. After she finished her degree she took a few more online classes, and she was still considered a student, so I don't see why they would object to you applying at that point (post grad but still taking a class).

awesome! I haven't really heard of anyone on here that wasn't an undergrad

You're right...one of her roommates from her first CP is now a grad student and doing a PI right now, but it's not common. It is common to apply your last semester of undergrad and do the program as a recent graduate, though, so you don't have to worry about taking a semester off.
