Can I send in my app for Fall 2010 NOW?

[kait454]

I graduate with my A.A.S in Health & Health Science at the end of the Fall 2009 semester. Since the school I am applying to for my B.S.N only runs programs starting in fall, I plan to finish up some of my pre-requisites during Spring 2010 and apply to the school for the Fall 2010 semester.

The school takes the common application (which I already have done) and I have already sent my high school transcripts. All that is left to send is my college transcripts. I'm wondering if I can send my completed application in NOW (for Fall 2010)? If so, will I receive a decision any sooner (they do not have Early Action, Decision, or Rolling admission)? Or do they still need to wait to receive ALL my grades (Fall 2009/Spring 2010)?

Thanks!

what school?

Simmons College in Boston, MA. I actually just read somewhere that they accept transfer students on a rolling basis. So that answers my question.

It is my understanding that most schools will want to see your college transcripts before making a decision. But I suggest you give the school's admissions office a call to ask them. They are best equipped to answer that question. Good Luck!

Thanks, MS. I wasn't wondering whether they would accept me now for Fall 2010 (I know they need my semester grades for that), but I was wondering if I could send it all my materials and my application for Fall 2010. It's wayyy before the deadline, but I'd rather have it submitted now than hold on to it for later. I contacted the Undergrad Admissions office and they are going to get back to me. I assume if I send all my transcripts and stuff that they will just keep it on file until decisions are made... then again, transfer students are taken on a rolling basis (I just found out) so I don't know...
