When should I apply to my transfer school for admission?

Apply up to one year in advance of the term you plan to transfer. Most colleges and universities have application deadlines by which the admission application and all supporting documents (transcripts, essay, etc.) must be submitted. The deadline is often two to five months prior to the start of the term you start, but some schools allow students to apply as late as a few  weeks before classes begin.  Waiting is not recommended though – apply early! Also check when your transfer school needs your financial aid information – apply early for all aid you’re eligible to receive.
