New to College.

<p>I feel very stupid at the moment, but I would love it if someone could answer a question for me. I am sure that I will have more questions later, but for now I have this one.</p>

<p>I applied in Feburary of this year. The preferred deadline was March 1st. I actually applied before, but took my SATs on March 1st, so I'd say my application was finialized a little fter the preferred deadline. In April, I got a letter saying that they needed my grades from Ivy Tech before they could make a decsion, so, after the Spring semester ended at Ivy Tech on May 9th, I sent the transcript. It should have actually been sent today.</p>

<p>I was unsure, should I have been accepted, if I would actually attend college in fall of this year (2008), or the fall of next year (2009). I expressed this question on one of the school's FAQ sites. Here is my question quoted.</p>

<p>" If an admissions application is sent in 2008 and the student is admitted into the college, are they admitted for 2008 or 2009? If indeed they must wait for 2009, then what year is all of the deadlines for? I would assume that the application deadline is for 2008 so that the student can be up for consideration for admittance in September. But...what about the housing application? Is the deadline for it 2008 or 2009??"</p>

<p>I recieved this answer in response.</p>

<p>" We begin admitting in September for the following Fall. For example, students began applying in September of 2007 to attend in Fall of 2008. Most of our programs are on rolling admission, which means that we will accept applications as long as space is available. Exceptions to this are as follows:</p>

<p>Students applying to Veterinary Technology or Aviation Flight Technology must apply no later than November 15 to begin the following Fall.</p>

<p>There is also a preferential deadline of December 1st for Nursing, Pre-pharmacy and Health Sciences. Applications may still be accepted after that date if spaces remain available. </p>

<p>Students can apply for housing as soon as they are admitted to the university. Applications for housing should be in by March 1st.</p>

<p>Thank you"</p>

<p>Rereading this has confused me further. I don't know exactly when they begin accepting applications, be it the year before or the present year. And the words "following fall" really make me think. I am afraid that I am no longer making sense at the moment, so I will go ahead and ask my question.</p>

<p>Given the information that I gave you about when I applied, my question and their answer, when will I be attending college if I am accepted, Fall of 2008 or Fall of 2009?</p>

<p>I'm sorry if this sounds stupid, but I would really love an answer.</p>

<p>When you get your acceptance letter, they will tell you which year you're accepted for. There will be no doubt.</p>

<p>You may be admitted for Fall 2008, Spring 2009 or deferred to Fall 2009. There's no way we can tell.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply.</p>

<p>I know that what you say is true. I'm just very worried that I'll be admitted in Fall of '08, which is both good and bad. Good for me because I want to go to college as soon as I can, but bad because the deadline for housing applications was March 1st, the deadline for the acceptance payment was May 1st and I wouldn't have much time to accumulate tuition money be it scholarships or loans if I were admitted in Fall of this year.</p>

<p>I guess I'll have to wait and see...</p>
