[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she really likes W&M I say go for spring admit.  Do something meaningful in fall.  [/quote]

You can’t take a gap semester with spring pathways. You have to earn a certain number of credits next fall— either at NOVA with a 3.0 (??) GPA or WMs overseas partner, with other spring admit choices. Doing something besides CC or approved overseas makes you a transmit admit (if you don’t go to the cc to earn credit) or a new admit (if you work instead of earning credit)

The thought is spring admits will fill in spring study abroad and freshman transfer away residential spots  and come open the the credits for graduate in 7 semester (on time with the fall admits).  Honestly, it’s an awful time to expand the class because they are taking downs offline to update and housing is a mess.

That said, interesting option. My kid is an introvert went in as a fall admit this year, and we very integrated by January. She would not have done spring admit.    I think it works best if your kid is a social go getter and not an introvert who will hide out in their room, possibly with an upperclass  roommate. [/quote]
