<p>Our son was wait listed for fall 2013 but has also been offered a spring 2014 guaranteed admission. We've been told he may still clear the fall wait list.</p>
<p>This is his first choice school. He's been admitted to his second choice but is debating the merits of potentially waiting a semester for his top choice. </p>
<p>Anyone have any opinions on the pros and cons of deferring?</p>
<p>I have a friend whose daughter is an F & M freshman. She was also only admitted for spring, and attended Fall 2012 abroad in Dublin, which she LOVED. Is that your offer as well?</p>
<p>Yes, We haven’t heard the details but they plan to give us several alternatives for the gap semester. Did your friend’s daughter transition well arriving in January?</p>
<p>I was wait listed for Fall but didn’t get guaranteed Spring admission.
But I got consideration…</p>
<p>What’s so bad about Spring? Nothing…
Take some classes in summer or take multiple classes at once or just don’t graduate with the class of 2017
I don’t think it’s a huge deal for school like F&M</p>
