[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To add, it is kind of easy to still graduate on-time in most majors if you start in the spring. An AP credit there, a summer class, a class in the fall prior to entry, an extra class one semester, an internship for credit—-all ways to do that. [/quote]
My DDs roommate attended Va Tech the first semester and then enrolled in the spring admit school in January. [/quote]

That is probably unusual. Why go all the way to a 4-year school like VT when you only intend to go to it for one semester?[/quote]

My DS is actually considering this option. Was admitted to a school that was a "maybe," and thinking about trying that school out with the option of changing schools in the spring. But if he loves it, then staying. Has anyone done this path?[/quote]
A good friend of DDs did this a few years ago. The friend was sure she'd transfer to top choice school in January. Parents were hoping she'd like VT and just decide to stay there. Friend did go to top choice school in January. Four years later went to Penn for Dental School. She was high stats. [/quote]
