Will going part-time in undergraduate affect my graduate admission? I'm a fourth year undergraduate student in a university in the U.S., and this is my last semester. I have already applied to graduate schools, and I'm currently awaiting responses. Since I have already finished all my requirements and am ready to graduate, I wanted to go part time this semester. I am aware of how it affects my financial aid; however, I do not know if it has an effect on my admittance to graduate school. I do not mean whether or not I get accepted (the decisions will happen without knowledge of my current semester), but whether I am eligible to attend graduate school if I have been part time for a semester. That is, will there be any potential issues when the schools that have accepted me see my final transcript and see I was part time? Is there a universal answer to this? Or should I contact each school individually and ask about their policy? 

Also, are there any other potential issues with going part time that I haven't mentioned? Anything noteworthy I might have missed?
I did something similar.  My final semester in undergrad, I had two options: stay full time and finish two minors, or go part time (really just one class) and complete an intensive EMT-Paramedic training program.  Since I was seriously considering med schools, the second option seemed like a better idea to me.  (How good of an idea it was remains to me seen, since I did not go to med school, but anyway...)

I have since gone to grad school in two different fields.  Absolutely no one gave a dang about my last semester being part time (although I did get some questions about being a paramedic).  

So, to quote guest:


  Just get the sheepskin. Nobody cares about the details.
