<p>Hi all. I got accepted to USC for the Fall Semester of 2008. My question is whether or not I can "choose" to start on the Spring Semester. Then I would actually have some time to earn some money and I would only have to pay for one semester. And if I can, how would the housing work?</p>
<p>I emailed USC on wednesday, but didn't get an answer yet. I'm gonna call on monday, but I just want to see if anybody has any idea. Thx!</p>
<p>I'll switch spots with you?!?!</p>
<p>I am certain that you could get an answer much quicker by calling them.</p>
<p>wow i've never heard of this!! Don't worry USC is pretty efficient, they'll reply in two business days.</p>
<p>If I HAD been admitted for fall I was actually thinking of doing this so I could get some financial stuff in order. I'm interested in seeing how this turns out.</p>
<p>haha, I wish I could trade with sourkrause45..</p>
<p>You guys laugh...Don't be so sure you couldn't switch....What is the underlying reason for Spring admit anyway? Housing? Class size restrictions? It's a long shot, but it only costs a dime to call and ask.....</p>
<p>Are you both in A&S??? Are you both male/female/?? Who knows...Call and ask......</p>
<p>eh.. i just called my admissions counselor and she say i can't. I really don't see why not though. I know a lot of spring admits who wants to start in fall and i want to start in spring.. oh well..</p>
<p>okay. so i emailed them several weeks ago, and their answer was different than what the USC admission counselor told me. Apparantly, I can fill out an "USC Admission Application Update Request Form."</p>
<p>it says,</p>
<p>"An application update is not a guarantee of re-admission but rather arequest that your original application be evaluated for admission to asubsequent term"</p>
<p>Does this mean if i get rejected for the spring semester, i can't even go during fall? Does anybody know anything about this application?</p>
<p>You would not be able to start in spring unless you "deferred admission" and had a COMPELLING admission. Spring admission is normally offered to students who they don't have enough room to accommodate logistically on campus in the fall semester.</p>
