<p>Could someone please list/name the Liberal Arts Colleges and National Universities that accept applications (from international students) for admission in January/Spring?</p>

<p>I know UTexas, BU and UMich are three of such universities, and I guess some of the UCs, too, have January admission (not sure which ones, though), but I'm looking for more names.</p>

<p>Also, could you specify which of the UCs accept students for the Winter/Spring term?</p>

<p>UCs do not accept applications for spring. All applications are for fall enrollment, but some campuses may offer students a spring admission (due to crowding).</p>

<p>Are you aware of any other colleges/universities that offer Spring/January admission?</p>

<p>I don’t know what kind of school you are looking for, but Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas admits students in January. </p>

<p>Here is the link for their international student admissions page:</p>

<p>According to US News and World Reports, Washburn University is rated seventh in the Midwest among public master’s level universities. </p>

<p>It’s also not too late to apply for Fall admission - the deadline is June 15.</p>

<p>Actually, the only reason I intend to go for Spring '11 instead of Fall '10 is the fact that I want to improve my stats and apply to the top tier schools (LACS or National Universities). I already have admission offers from a few good colleges (Fall '10), but I would really like to attend a school that’s better.</p>

<p>Not sure why you can’t do this research yourself. Look on the websites of the various “better schools” that you have identified. All the info will be there.</p>

<p>I know of only one college, Middlebury, that has a “February admit”, but I believe those admissions are completed at the same time as their Fall admissions. That is, they don’t have a separate deadline for a February admit. I suspect that the only or best way to improve your stats and then to reapply and to take a full gap year. That will get you in Fall 2011, but as far as I know, schools simply don’t have different admissions midyear.</p>

<p>Mount Holyoke has something similar to Middlebury, but like Middlebury, the applications are completed at the same time as the Fall 2010 ones.</p>
