holding off on a transfer acceptance: possible?

Transfer Students

<p>probably my stupidest question.... one can't apply to a school as a transfer, get accepted, and then ask to have their spot held for another year right? I know people do this when applying as freshmen for travel reasons and whatnot, but can this be done as a transfer (for financial reasons)?</p>

<p>i'm a freshman at suny binghamton and would like to transfer to NYU. I was planning on applying for junior year to save a year's worth of tuition, but would it make any sense to apply now (app. due 4/1). Basically, if accepted, I could go for sophomore year only if i received a nice amount of financial aid, which is doubtful. Does it make more sense to just wait another year and THEN apply?</p>

<p>interesting question... since i'm not very sure how to answer this, I would still like to hear others' input for an answer.</p>

<p>Some schools will let transfers take up to 2 years 'off' until they enroll at where they were accepted. I'm not sure about NYU, but if it doesn't say on their website, email them.</p>

<p>my counselor suggested i do that for USC my freshman year of college. i never applied though because i switched majors from business to econ and decided to try out the UC system.</p>
