A New Kind of Admission

One of the growing trends in college admissions is that of offering students a spring admission or a deferred admission.  We've seen it at GPS: several years ago a student was guaranteed admission to a highly ranked school if she went somewhere else for her freshman year. More recently a student was admitted to Northeastern University (one of the schools mentioned in this article) beginning in January.  There are several variations to this type of admission, so if offered one, you will have to weigh the pros and cons and decide what works best for you.
