When am I suppose to apply? I am a newbie.

Transfer Students
1

Unlike many others, I started my first year in Spring 2015. I took 16 credits that semester, and this summer I took 8 credits. So right now I have total of 24 credits and planning to apply as a Junior.

I am thinking of applying to UIUC (University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign) but I don’t know exactly when I am suppose to apply. This upcoming fall I will take around 15 credits and the next spring I will also take around ~15 credits. So when do I apply?
What happens if I have a total of 60 credits before 2016 Fall? Can I even go to my community college anymore because as a international student, I have to take at least 12 credits per semester, meaning I’d have over 70 credits if I enroll in 2016 Fall?

You should apply spring 2016. That way you don’t have to send in your sat scores.

Once you have a full year of college, your SAT scores become unecessary.

Apply as soon as you can . Therefore, you need to find out when the application for transfer students begin. The sooner you do it the less stress. Most colleges also offer scholarships for transfer students, but are limited to funding, so the sooner you do it the higher the chance of you getting a transfer scholarship. Also, Apply for corpus housing as soon as possible also. I learn that the hard way. I applied 4 months before my transfer day, and i still could not get a place. I struggled for weeks to find a place.
