The calendars were rationalized so that everyone is on a semester calendar making it much easier to transfer among cc's and the universities. And now rush is almost concurrent across the campuses.

Out of curiosity, how is it possible to transfer from one University to another within a few weeks of the start of classes? That just seems like it's cutting it pretty close... can the student belatedly accept an offer of admission if she was accepted to both schools originally, or does she fill out a whole transfer app and go for rolling transfer admissions?
