Yes, they said they are accepting for Fall. The current plan is to go back to Vermont, but the background though is that if she’s at the point where she knows she wants to transfer after Fall, then if a school she likes accepts her for Fall, she should consider it. Since it looks like the school choices are limited for Sophomore year, the other option is to come home and do a year of Gen Eds at community college. It’s not ideal because we all want her to have the college experience, but it is an option.
I think my previous post and yours came through at the same time. This is why U Utah isn’t an option. She isn’t putting restrictions on the upper size limits, she just wants to be above 7K-ish.
Finally, yes there are plenty of other states than those three, but she would like to be in states that affirm women’s reproductive rights and also those of the LGBTQ community, so that is a self-imposed limitation.
