Questions about Spring Admission in Graduate Schools
By HSB
So many people have emailed me asking to answer difference between Fall and Spring admission to Graduate Schools and I actually started writing about what it the difference between Fall and Spring college admission, but after reading some posts in Orkut about what students are talking about college admission in Spring semester, I decided to spend some time in collecting the the responses posted by different students about grad school admission in Spring.
Also, I read very interesting ideas students had about spring. I really wonder how they come up with such some very interesting ideas about graduate school admission in spring. Here’s a few for you read
- Courses are tough in Spring
- Less Internship and job opportunities
- Less chances to get aid and part time jobs
- Visa’s are first come first served basis
- Less intake in spring, so not many courses will be offered
- Getting internships will be easier
- Limited seats for Spring admission
- More pressure on students since courses will be tough
- You have to work hard if you need to graduate in fall
- It will be difficult to find place to stay
Majority of the people reading this post should have either applied for Spring semester college admissions and waiting for acceptance decision from the school or students who are planning to apply for Fall or Spring next year.
You can find answers to the following questions in the next post
- Is it ok to apply for College Admission in Spring
- What about admission chances?
- What are the chances of getting Visa?
- When can I apply for Internships?
- Will I be eligible for Summer Internships?
- Will Spring students considered for Scholarships and Aid?
Also, as I start writing the post, I usually tend to answer about other questions tat are not listed above. I didn’t realize the questions about Graduate school admission will turn into a post.
