Transfer Students

<p>Hello all........</p>

<p>I am a new member and this is my first time posting, not sure if this is the right place for this question but here it goes.....</p>

<p>At the end of this year (Fall 2013 Semester) I will be done with my associate degree in engineering. I plan on applying and hopefully transferring to a good 4 year college. My dilemma is if i should apply for Spring 2014 or Fall 2014 semester. The degree that I am trying to get into is Bio-medical engineering. The community college that I currently attend is in New England (Boston area). The schools that i plan on applying:</p>

<p>Cornell University
GA-Tech
RPI
WPI (my community college has an articulation agreement, I`m guaranteed entrance)
UT at Austin
Purdue
UMASS (Amherst/Lowell)
Carnegie Mellon

A few of my classmates have advised me against applying for the spring semester. I am really concerned about this issue. I really don`t want to push my application for Fall 2014 because I have a good momentum going with school and also I am 27 years old so I do not want to waste time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.........</p>

<p>I don’t see what the cons are for applying for the Spring semester unless the schools you’re applying to won’t offer courses you need to make progress on your degree.</p>

<p>Some schools have lower admission stats for transfers in the spring, but I don’t see why not!</p>

<p>schools accept less students for the spring and generally have less FA in the spring</p>
