I am currently in Grade 12, studying the the CBSE (Indian) curriculum. I will be applying to colleges in the US and I am a bit confused about which Quarter/Semester I should apply to.
In the UC application, it is asked to select either : Winter Quarter/Spring Semester 2016 or Fall Quarter/Semester 2015. However, my final exams end in March of 2014. Could someone help me?
Traditionally, most US students feel the Fall Qtr/semester is the real “Start” of the school year here. But as you’ve seen, some schools admit entering freshmen outside the fall slot. If the UCs are of interest to you, you can apply for whichever slot is first available to you. If you’re finishing in March of 2016, the earliest slot for you would be Fall Qtr 2016. Thus you’ll need to meet those application deadlines (likely the end of 2015).
@T26E4 Thank your for your reply.
However, I have already mistakenly selected Winter/Spring 2016 in the UC application instead of Fall 2016.
I am not able to change my option now. Is there any way to restart the process, change my choice or delete my account ?
EDIT: I meant March of 2016 on my previous post
Contact the admissions office and see if they can help you. I would select Fall if you can.
@bopper Ok, I have sent them a mail.
I seem to have missed the blatantly obvious sign that says that the admissions for fall open in August.
Oh well…
