<p>Hello, like many of you, I've fallen in love with Mount Holyoke College. Like some of you, I was offered spring entrance today (though I applied for this fall). MoHo is my favorite school out of the eight schools I applied to, so I'm absolutely happy that I got accepted. How about you, fellow spring admits? Do you think you're likely to go to MoHo?</p>
<p>Also, I can't seem to log in to the financial aid website. I tried to log in as a new user but all I got was "Your Verification information cannot be validated. Please contact your financial aid office for assistance." Can any of you help me out? </p>
<p>@impromptulove My best guess is we’re ualified for admissions, but there weren’t enough spaces left for fall entrance, so we were un/luckily offered spring acceptance. Since some students graduate in December or are gone for study abroad during the second semester, there a several spaces that other students can fill in. In any case, it’s still better than being waitlisted.</p>
<p>I was accepted as a spring admit last year. From what we’ve been told, spring admits are just so there is more space for students, since other students will study abroad. It seems to me that springies are more motivated students, since we have a semester before to accrue more credits for school–for me, I see it as somewhat of a good thing that I got into MHC, since it gave me more time to do things before I went to MHC (I worked full time and took classes at a local CC). </p>
<p>The spring orientation was very low-key, and definitely not the traditional experience that fall admits get. At the same time, it seems like because there is a smaller group of admits (70 or so), we all got much closer than fall admits. </p>
<p>As far as graduating, springies are common at MHC, and have told me that it is completely possible to graduate with the rest of the class in the spring, while others tell me that they would rather graduate in the winter for a bigger job market/the extra summer to build on their resume.</p>
<p>In a way, I took being a springie as a way of MHC telling me that they believe I am a motivated student. It’s really all in how you look at it! </p>
<p>Let me know if you have any questions I can help with.</p>
<p>I was admitted for the Spring term as well. I think this is the best thing that has happened to me considering my options! These past four years for me have been trying and it tells me that MoHo really considered the whole me in their decision. I could really use the time off to just enjoy myself for once and fulfill something that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. This makes me want to attend MoHo even more.</p>
<p>However, I do have my reservations since I’m a recruit. Does anyone know how athletes are dealt with in this whole thing?</p>
<p>I was admitted for Fall 2012, although I’ve never heard of Spring admission and was wondering if this was unusual for schools to do.
I am also a recruit, but for a fall and spring sport. I haven’t committed yet, but I’m assuming that since I may play in the fall, they put me in for the first semester. Thoughts?</p>
<p>My sport also has a fall and spring season. However, fall generally isn’t as important and fewer athletes tend to participate in it. And really, they said that if it bothered us THAT much that we could advocate to be let in to the Fall semester instead but I wouldn’t get your hopes up because it sounded sort of hard to do.</p>
<p>I started at MHC in the Spring of 2009. I also thought it was unusual to be admitted for the spring, but after talking to the Admissions staff, I realized that there were many opportunities I could pursue in the fall before coming to MHC that would be very beneficial in the long run. I considered spring admission to be an opportunity rather than perceiving it as a negative thing.
I am still graduating in May 2012. I am a double major and even studied abroad for a semester during my junior year. As long as you plan ahead with your academic advisor, you can graduate in 7 semesters and do something cool before you start in the spring. Some people had jobs and saved money, others did internships or traveled, some people took classes at community colleges and had credits transferred. I did an internship and I think having the experience really helped when I was applying for on-campus jobs and study abroad programs and internships.</p>
<p>My daughter has been admitted by two colleges and can she accepted both first and drop one of them later because she cannot decide which one at this moment? If it is legal, can she still transfer credits from one school to the other because one school starts from this fall and the other starts from Spring 2013? Appreciate to hear your good opinion.</p>
