<p>I wouldn’t stress that much if I were you. Your not a lock, but a definite match, especially for summer.</p>

<p>If you have 3 of the following: Taken at least 3 language classes, have taken math to at least PreCal, have an ACT English/Writing score above 24, or have taken more than the required minimum natural science classes, then you should be in no problem. And this is by Fall admissions standards, Summer is a little easier to get in.</p>

<p>If I had to say “Accepted or Denied”, you are more likely to be accepted.</p>

<p>Summer B is no different from fall in terms of competition, as all freshmen applicants are evaluated as a class. There is no distinction between terms, so there is no admission advantage or disadvantage to choosing summer or fall entry. If you look at some of the published circulated stats showing lower stats for summer admits, I think the hundreds of students in the “disadvantaged” student programs and also athletes like football players coming in summer lowers the overall stats for summer admits. If you are a regular applicant and would prefer starting in the fall, apply for the fall and not summer thinking it is easier getting in. There is nothing wrong with starting in summer, but if you’d like more time before starting college earning extra money at a summer job or if you want to wait until you can use Bright Futures benefits (no state aid summer term!)–apply for fall admission. If the admissions officers think you are a better fit for summer, they’ll offer you summer admission anyway even if you applied for fall term.</p>

<p>I think “it’s easier to get in summer” isn’t true.</p>
