<p>my dream school is the College of William and Mary. I'm a high school senior and from the looks of things it seems as if I'm probably not going to get it. I would want to transfer after my first year if I reapplied and got in. The thing is I applied and got into two schools that follow a trimester schedule while William and Mary is semester based. Would it be difficult to transfer my credits if I went to such a school? </p>
<p>usually the problem occurs when you transfer mid-year through a sequenced courses.</p>
<p>e.g.
Biology 1 & 2 on a semester system could be equivalent to biology a-b-c on a quarter system.
If you transfer mid-year with only biology a-b done (no c) then you would only get credit for biology 1 at the semester school. </p>
