Agree. You are looking at one week. All new classes start in January and friend groups tend to change based on classes too.

Is it the best scenario? No. But it is the best school and it will all work out.


Curious, how many schools do Spring admits? I thought only Maryland did.

Many do. They don’t talk about it much though. It allows them to admit kids (usually full-pay) whose stats they don’t want to publish with the rest of the incoming class’ average in the CDS.

They probably also want to replace the kids who drop out mid-year.

Many people make friends after the fall. It is great when college ends up being as fun as in a movie, but for most there are tradeoffs along the way. It certainly was t worth the fall admit at a worse school.
