Transferring in Spring 2012: Please Help

Transfer Students
1

<p>I am currently a second semester freshman at Pace University. After living in the city for a semester, I came back to long island and am now commuting everyday. Since I was too late to apply with enough time to make a decision for fall, I applied and am now transferring to Dowling for a semester until I can officially leave. </p>

<p>My options are UNCW, Coastal Carolina, ECU and University of South Carolina (Columbia). I can apply to all of these for spring 2012. I would love any information from students or people in general about these schools. </p>

<p>The other thing is that I would love to apply to UNC Chapel Hill, but they only allow undergrad transfers for Fall (my junior year). I got rejected as a Freshman but that was to be expected since I was out of state. </p>

<p>Here's my info:
HS GPA: 3.7
SAT: 1220 (reading and math) 1760 (all three parts)
College GPA: 3.54
Deans List</p>

<p>Do I have a shot to get into UNC?
What are some pros and cons about the other schools?
Any info would be really appriciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>So why not wait until junior year to apply to UNC if that’s where you really want to go?</p>

<p>It’s a long story but there are a lot of family issues at home and I’d really like to get out as soon as possible. Also I like the idea of UNCW and CC’s beachy atmospheres. It would just prove a lot to myself and a lot of people who are unhappy with my multiple transfers that I am as capable as I know i am if I went to UNC.</p>

<p>Also does anyone know exactly how hard it is to transfer in spring as far as getting accepted?</p>

5

<p>Transferring in the spring tends to be more competitive because there are fewer slots available/not as many students leaving.</p>

6

<p>How do colleges feel about applying for fall and deferring to spring? Is that possible? I can still apply to some of the schools for fall. Do they frown upon this?</p>

<p>You will have to contact your specific schools to see if they allow this; I’m sure it varies.</p>
