My nephew earned his 2 year associates degree from a local community college. He wants to take those credits and apply to a state school (which will accept his credits), hoping to start this fall (2016). His parents are not offering him any help, so I am hoping to lend a hand. Has he missed the deadline to apply for colleges this coming fall? If not, when is the deadline? Can anyone please help us? Thank you
He has almost certainly missed the deadline for most, if not all, state schools, but it’s still not too late to apply for spring 2017 semesters.
What state are we taking about?
For California, it would indeed be too late, but there are many schools/deadlines
which accept transfer students through March or so.
If he’s missed the deadline for his state school, he may be able to apply for spring 2017.
Your best advice to your nephew would be that he should go into the community college where he earned his AA,
and speak to a Transfer counselor as soon as possible.
He (though I don’t) lives in Pennsylvania
