<p>I know at Brown they say that historically, it is significantly easier to be admitted if you opt to be considered for the spring semester. </p>
<p>Is this true for Harvard too? I was just wondering.</p>
<p>nooooooooope.</p>
<p>is it harder then?</p>
<p>also, are the deadlines sooner? (because you're opting for admittance into the spring semester, it wouldnt make sense to have the same deadline- which is rather late)</p>
<p>All fall and spring applicants have the same due date (last year Feb 15th I think). The admissions committee then evaluates all fall and spring applicants at the same time.</p>
<p>I think the difficulty of gaining admission is the same for fall and spring. On the application, there's a box that can check if you want to be considered for both fall or spring entry.</p>
<p>why would it be significantly easier to get in as a spring transfer? it's harvard for christ's sake.</p>
<p>red92, are you going to Brown in the spring?</p>
<p>im going to boston college. i dont know what to do with myself with no school for an entire semester! good luck at Harvard. thats really exciting.</p>
<p>not that im applying to harvard (too late. im already going to be a soph). I just didnt realize they had the spring option too.</p>
