My son is not put off by waiting til January except that curricular issues arise, since many classes are sequenced and offered only in fall semester. So we will try to get some academic advising around where else he might start sequenced classes to transfer in the credit but also be ready for Rochester’s Spring classes. Wondering if anyone else has similar concerns. The social issues really do not worry my son, who finds friends wherever he goes. He would love to do some study abroad in fall, but it is not the best timing, since it would mean not starting work in his areas of concentration until the sophomore year, and thus perhaps not advancing quickly enough for undergraduate research opportunities, etc. Just wondering if anyone else has concerns about accomplishing a major with highly sequenced courses which cannot be begun in Spring semester.

He is very pleased to be admitted, though.
