[quote=Anonymous]I doubt that the number of spring admits is big enough at most schools to move the needle that much on USNWR rankings, so I’m a little dubious of those claims, TBH. I’m sure some do it and might have some marginal effect, but I doubt its the primary reason for most schools. A lot of spring admits are HS recruited athletes who graduate in December so they can enroll and be on campus in January for the spring season or practice. Baseball players do it. Football players do it to make spring practice before the fall season starts. Less so for sports that straddle semesters (like basketball and hockey). Then there is $ mentioned. Every school will have some attrition, and they want to have backfill for those spots. [/quote]
