Will going to a community college for 2 1/2 years hurt my chance at transfer?

Not all four year universities allow applying for starting in the spring semester, or they may be more selective then due to less space available. So if you are not transfer-ready in four semesters, you may have to wait until you have completed six semesters.</p>

<p>Also note that, for a physics or astronomy major, you need to take the calculus-based physics sequence, which obviously requires calculus.

Having checked their websites, UT Austin and Texas A&M allow transfer during the spring, but you might be right about them being more selective.</p>

<p>Let’s say I apply as a microbiology/astronomy major and got rejected for the Spring, 2015 semester. Would I have to wait until Spring, 2016 to transfer?</p>

<p>As for calculus-based physics sequence, I don’t know if my college has this as a class. I hope so because I would rather not have to go to another university just to take that.</p>
