[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]

Yes, it is to hide the lower stats so they don’t have to report those stats with other admitted students. [/quote]

Take it! In the covid era its about space on campus. My DD with a 1580 SAT and a 3.9UW GPA from top VA public was a spring admit. Her stats were not lower. I'd highly recommend doing this if the school is your DD's top choice.[/quote]

Totally agree with PP. My DS is a Spring admit with 3.9UW GPA and 1500 SAT.  In no way does this or PPs scores bring their stats down.  You have no idea what you are talking about.[/quote]
anonymous nobodies whose high point in life was being accepted to a college 20 years ago, that they could never get into today, still desperately trying to be superior and relevant. It makes them feel better to somehow belittle others' accomplishments. So they make sh*t up. [/quote]
