<p>So I'm trying to transfer to University of Arizona and they told me that if i apply this semester before a completion of 24 units (I have 17) then I'll be considered a freshman, but if i apply next semester then I'll be considered a transfer. Apply now or next semester? Whats the difference? P.S. It's a first come first serve housing, I want good housing.</p>
<p>Some thoughts:</p>
<p>Acceptance rate for fr is somewhat higher (75%) than transfer (57%):</p>

<p>When you say apply now, I assume that means you would take sp semester off and apply to enter UA next fall? Is that OK with you, do you have plans for what you would do? Would you rather spend the time working or doing something else, or attend college and earn more units towards your degree?</p>
<p>What are the timelines for decisions for fr and transfer applicants? Are they both on a rolling basis?</p>
