Hi guys! I was originally set to go to a different college this fall but due to financial issues and the recent illnesses in my family, I won’t be able to attend that college anymore. I’m very disappointed that I won’t be able to go to college in the fall like the rest of my friends. I want to be able to go to a state school in the spring and I was wondering what are the chances of transferring in the spring if I do a semester at a community college.
I plan on transferring to FSU which was my top state school and I was accepted into the school but chose another one. Are my chances of getting admitted into the school good? Or is there no hope?
I am in a panic because I am the first to go to college in my family. Thank you so much for reading this!
@Cas1998 I think you need to reach out to FSU as soon as you can. Explain your situation directly to them. You will probably have to reapply. It seems like your chances of getting accepted in the spring are very good since you have been accepted already.
I encourage you to call admissions asap. There are some students who withdraw prior to the start of the fall semester for a variety of reasons. Maybe they may have a spot for you this fall. If it’s financial viable maybe you can start this fall.
Hang in there. I know how disappointed you may feel right now. Starting in the spring is not the worst thing. Your dreams are still your dreams. Don’t lose sight of the prize at the end. Good luck to you!
@pkchamp89 thank you so much for this reply! My main concern is that I was accepted for the summer term so I’m scared that they won’t accept me if I reapply.
Not all schools allow spring transfers, some are fall only.
Check that out first…
God luck!
If you never started in at the OOS school, is this really a transfer? It sounds like you would have to reapply as a freshman.
@Cas1998 No one can answer that except the admissions department. The admissions criteria may be different for summer admits, not sure. These are all questions you need to pose to the Admissions. You obviously have met their requirements and were admitted for the summer term so maybe it won’t be a problem. Most likely you will have to reapply as the poster stated above.
@shortnuke I called admissions and they said I could apply as a spring transfer
If you do not attend the other college in the fall you will not be a transfer, you will be a freshman applicant for spring.
Did you get in?
