[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take it! Your child has been admitted to this program to hide their stats so if not in this program, not admitted at all. Because of this smoke and mirrors approach in admissions, more of the colleges are offering it and strengthening their programs. [/quote]

More colleges are doing this, but it's not to hide anything. It's just practical to have people waiting to take the place of those they know will leave after the first semester for whatever reason, and they're pretty good at predicting how many students that will be each year. They lose loads of money otherwise.[/quote]

You are right and wrong. They intentionally choose some applicants to place in the spring start programs. However, it also does help them balance their open beds in dorms during spring semester.[/quote]

It is 100% so they don't have to include the students' stats in their reported numbers for the incoming first years. I would guess most of them are full-pay as well. But so what? If the kids loves that school, do it. [/quote]
You’re so wrong but that doesn’t keep you from piping up to show your ignorance. You must be salty that your kid needs financial aid and an acceptance to go to their top choice. [/quote]

Actually you are wrong. This spring access practice did start so they schools didn’t have to report low stat kids. No matter the insults you hurl -that is common knowledge [/quote]

Evidence?[/quote]

Like in a testube?  That kind of evidence?  It's common knowledge. But if a kid gets in, they got in. That's all that matters. [/quote]
