At what month do you begin your term if you applicate for Fall, winter, spring or summer term?

A confused international student here! I am planning on attending college next year for a bachelor (2017) in august/September (as when a regular school semester begins) but I don’t really understand which season I am going to apply for. I think it’s fall 2017. Am I right?

Correct. Most US universities only accept first year students in the Fall Term.

Thank you, that makes sense.
