<p>Does anyone know whether it is generally helpful to apply for admission in Summer Qtr to a typical large public university? Does it increase your chances of gaining admission or hurt them or neither?</p>

<p>You need to investigate this for the specific university that you are looking at. Summer and second semester admission often is easier than fall admission, but it does depend on individual institutional policies.</p>
