Can you apply to college for spring admission if you are already enrolled somewhere for the fall semester?
I believe you would be considered a transfer application.
And don’t forget the best financial aid and merit scholarships usually go to freshman applicants.
@bhmomma what if I defer admission to spring?
You would have to address that question to school you want the spring admission
You would have to address it to both schools (or at least review their policies) because if you ASK your admitted school for a deferral, if it is private, they will most likely ask you to sign an agreement saying you will not apply anywhere else while you are deferring. If they catch you applying anywhere else they can rescind your admission.
