<p>I am an international student from HK. I am not so clear about the spring semesters in colleges.
I am currently a high school senior, if I screwed up my 2012 Fall application I will plan to apply for spring semester. But at this stage, I will be perhaps admitted by local colleges by Fall 2012. So can I still apply for the spring semester in US colleges normally as a freshman student from high school?</p>
<p>It depends on the college, you need to look at the college websites to see their definition of a fr and transfer applicant. </p>
<p>Some will consider you a transfer applicant if you have taken 1 post-HS college course (eg. GWU), others have credit or semester limits for who is considered a fr or transfer applicant.</p>
