I applied to LSA as a computer science major yesterday. However, I applied to the spring term and not the fall term, because I need to start as soon as possible because I think I may be a bit behind in terms of transferrable credits. I am currently in junior standing with about 70 credits. Will applying to the spring term hurt my chances, because I read somewhere that applying to spring/summer means you are trying to “backdoor” your way in. However that is not why I applied for the spring term, as I said before it is so I can start as soon as possible. I really hope applying to spring as opposed to Fall 2015 didn’t hurt my chances because I put my heart and soul into my application especially the essays.
I say don’t worry about it. Don’t know where you read about the “backdoor” thing, it almost sounds absurd because why would they even offer the option if they look down upon it?
I’m applying to LSA as well, only for the fall term and for physics. Here’s to hoping we both get in.
