Any advantages or disadvantages to transferring in the Spring?

<p>

Another issue is that there are often fewer spots open for transfer students in the Spring.

</p>

<p>Some schools (many of the UCs for example) may not accept spring transfers. You really need to check each UC and your major.</p>

<p>For example, from the UC Irvine website:</p>

<p>

*Please note that UC Irvine may not open for applications for winter and/or spring quarters. To find out if the campus will be accepting applications for your major for winter or spring quarters, call the Office of Admissions and Relations with Schools in late June or September, respectively, or visit [University</a> of California - Admissions - Apply to UC](<a href=“Admissions | University of California”>Admissions | University of California).

</p>

<p>If you can transfer to the university you’d like and into the major you want and get classes that you need, I don’t see a problem with transferring in the spring.</p>
