Hi. Got a question needed to be cleared here.

My Pre-U results are out and NZ is one of my top choices for further studies.

I noticed that if I wanted to be admitted this year that would mean I have to be enrolled into the so called Semester 2 period, which is at around July if I am not mistaken.

Some universities do no recommend going into Sem2 directly and instead encourages students to wait for Sem1 intake period especially for those interested in engineering and science. Though that would mean I have to wait until next year.

The problem is that would I be in serious disadvantage if I were to just go straight in into Sem2?
