Transferring to a new University after 1 semester?

<p>I am a freshman this semester at a college pretty far away from home (over 1000 miles) thinking about transferring back to my state University. My reasons for transferring are not for being homesick, but rather financial and social reasons. What I am paying per semester here is a couple thousand over what it would cost per semester back home. Very big difference in cost and also I'd enjoy being able to go home more often. However, I do really enjoy the school that I'm at so it sucks to have to leave. Anyway, I applied to my state universities for admission to spring semester. I applied as a transfer student with 14 pending credits. I'm just wondering what would happen if I don't get in.... one of them I applied to I was accepted as a freshman and the other I was declined. So if I am not accepted to either, would it be wise to transfer to my local community college? Or to stick it out the rest of the year here. I am pre-med and am trying to make this transition as easy as possible.</p>

<p>I want to do the same. Which universities consider Freshman Spring transfers?</p>

<p>I would say if you will have a solid GPA after a full year stay and finish the year if you are not accepted at one of the two state universities you applied to as a transfer. The one you were already accepted to should offer a good chance - although if they offered you merit $$$ the first time around I don’t know if you will still get the $$. That’s actually something I’d be interested from other posters: If you apply as a transfer to a school that already accepted you and gave you $$$ first go-around, do they generally give you the same financial package as a transfer? (I know “it depends” - just looking for some anecdotal info…)</p>
