<p>Are my chances better, even slightly, for checking the box that said I would happily transfer in during the spring if a fall spot was unavailable?</p>
<p>Probably. I have no idea, but that would make sense. Only check it if you’re actually willing to do a spring transfer, of course.</p>
<p>I imagine it would only improve my chances marginally, probably less than 5%, but every bit helps! I would prefer fall admission, but I would absolutely take a spot in the spring if that’s what I was offered.</p>
<p>What will raise your transfer chances the most is if you aren’t applying for FA.</p>
<p>If only that were a possibility :/</p>
<p>Entomom, I think I’m going to take your advice even though I would be better off financially if I didn’t consider it a possibility. xD How much will my chances increase by not applying for aid?</p>
