<p>Is it better to transfer for spring or fall semester of next year if you excelled in high school as well as college? Is it less competitive to get in?</p>
<p>Well, first of all, I think it depends on what year you are in school currently. I'm sure you know that if you are a freshman, your HS grades will carry more weight in the decision than if you are a sophomore. As well, keep in mind that if you apply for fall, you're on campus early with both freshmen and transfer students, which I think makes it a lot easier to meet people. If you apply for the spring, then it's just you and the other spring transfers. I haven't seen any data that separates out acceptances for fall or spring, this may be something that you have to call the admissions office about. I transferred to WUSTL this fall and I thought the orientation was excellent and so far I am very happy here.</p>
<p>I think that fall semester is better, but you can do either.</p>
<p>I'd go with fall as well!</p>
