<p>Hey all!</p>
<p>Do you know if schools allow a person to apply twice in a year (spring and then fall)? I know commonapp says that I would not be able to use the online application twice and that I would need to use the paper app once.</p>
<p>Like, would schools like BC, WashU, Emory allow people to apply twice?</p>
<p>not a good idea.</p>
<p>I’m interested as well, and why would this be a bad idea?</p>
<p>Having just one semester isn’t enough to improve your credential. I would wait at least 1 year before reapplying.</p>
<p>It could depending on the jump even a 3.65 to 3.7 is still an increase. It’s also a different pool of applicants so could make your application better in one term than the other.</p>
<p>@Burton Elitist: I was thinking about the applicant pool as well and how during a different cycle I might stack up better than other members of the applicant pool.</p>
<p>@bottlecap: Are you saying it is frowned upon, or that it just may not be the most advisable move. From what I understand, many people transfer and start in their junior year (which would be the last time that most people can accepted) is it actually bad to apply for spring and then for the subsequent fall admissions? My logic was that it might show dedication.</p>
<p>I was thinking of doing summer and fall for next year for Emory, so unless doing it would hurt my chances because admissions wouldn’t like it then I plan on doing it.</p>
<p>Not advisable.</p>
<p>Why is it not advisable? You aren’t an admissions officer or giving any hard proof that warns against it. I’ll be visiting some top schools soon so when I do I’ll ask them personally instead if listening to someone on here about this matter.</p>
<p>@BurtonElitist: Well, if you do visit, please tell us what they say. I’m sure other people are interested as well.</p>
<p>Whats the point of asking in a forum if you can’t accept what others think? if you want an answer from an “admission officer” then give the university/college a call.</p>
