Transferring in the Middle of the Year

<p>How hard is it? I was completely set on going somewhere for the Fall but something came up and it turned out to be a bust. Now I'm forced to go to a place I really don't want to because my other choice's application deadline was February 1st. I know this is my fault that I should've sent out an application, but I didn't want to waste the fee. Everything seemed perfect. So now here I am hoping and praying that OSU will let me transfer to them in the spring. Do I even have a shot?</p>

<p>My D applied to be a transfer and was accepted as a spring transfer. Decades ago, my relative was a spring transfer to Stanford. Why not try? What do you have to lose?</p>

<p>For spring transfer how bad is the financial aid? And as a spring transfer is there a chance to spend a day at the University before enrolling like how regular admits do? </p>
