<p>Would anyone be able to tell me if it is possible to apply as a Spring semester transfer student to UPenn or Cornell (Spring 2008) if I apply over the summer/next fall? I couldn't find any information on either of their web sites about this.</p>

<p>You will need to call them, but most of the more selective schools only do fall transfer. Why are you not applying now for a fall transfer?</p>
<p>I only had a 3.67 GPA from WUSTL after last semester, and I was going to try to raise it before applying</p>
<p>The word "only" should not apply to a 3.67 GPA. It is excellent.</p>
<p>I know for a fact that Penn only takes Fall transfers. I think Cornell may do mid-years though...</p>
<p>i would apply for this upcoming fall...you have until march 1st probably, and a 3.7 from WUSTL is very good...i think you have a great shot at Cornell, and even Penn, and if you get rejected, you can always apply again</p>
<p>I don't know about UPenn, but you can enter Cornell as a spring semester transfer. I'm one myself. I'll be entering spring 07. I don't think you can apply as early as the summer, however, because when I applied, the updated transfer application wasn't even available until sometime in October. Spring deadlines are usually in early November, with notifications arriving in early to mid-December. So, what I'm saying is that you probably can't submit an actual transfer application until October 2007 if you plan on entering in January 2008. I hope this answers your question. Since I've gone through the Cornell transfer process, feel free to ask any questions. I'm leaving for Cornell tomorrow; wish me luck!</p>
<p>Oh, and I forgot to mention that I think you have a great shot at both Cornell and Penn.</p>
<p>jca, Congratulations on your acceptance and good luck at Cornell. Who knows, maybe we'll be classmates one day. My concern about transferring midyear was that I heard that if you are rejected for fall transfer, you have very little chance of getting in the next spring. If this is the case, I wanted to try to make my GPA more competitive before applying (playing varsity football in the fall + working in a lab + adjustment to the difficulty of college = probably not my finest performance). Thank you</p>
