<p>It may be too late to apply for many school for fall admissions, but if you are willing to wait to start classes until spring 2009, you may have better luck.</p>
<p>BTW, it’s not uncommon anymore for colleges to admit new incoming students to begin in the spring term. Some places now do it routinely because they know they will typically experience X number of students who flunk out or just do not return for the spring term.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
