Actualy - if accepted for spring admission - you would still be a freshman that next fall - until you complete the number of credits that qualify you as a sophmore. Most of the lower level courses are offered both semesters - tho some are not - so check that out - especially the sciences that may require 2 full semesters pending the major you are considering and the school also. (One option to consider would be to attend summer sessions to get up to snuf - if you needed to.)

Advantage to spring admission - there are actually alot of schools that would like to know that you would consider acceptance for spring semester - if they cannot offer you admission for the fall - tho there are some schools that do not take any new students in the spring - so make sure the school you are considering does have spring acceptance.

Another advantage - alot of students transfer in the spring or just don’t come back - so alot of slots can open up for applicants. Not such a bad idea if it an option you may want to consider. But just make sure the school offers this option.
