[quote=Anonymous]The reason these programs are offered is because the school is playing the marketing game. Those students who are offered the late start or start at satellite campuses have lower GPAs and test scores than the traditional admits. Here is where the school hides the poorer performing legacy students, URM, first generation, etc. By doing this, the school can report only the higher stats of regular start kids to USNWR. The problem is - everyone on campus (or campuses) knows this - so the late start kids feel inferior. Also, a student doing this forfeits the normal freshman excitement of first semester and the bonding with classmates. Do you really want your kid to attend a university that treats its students like this?[/quote]
