At FSU all the chapters participate in an open forum in January so that PNMs can meet all the groups and decide to do COB or wait for FR in the fall.

Oops, I think I started replying before I saw your post.
Spring admits are students who have advanced standing from AP credits or similar and have applied to defer their admission in order to take some "gap time" in between high school and college. Many students do philanthropic work or travel. One can either defer admission for a year or for half a year, with half a year being the much more popular option. One cannot apply to defer admission for half a year unless one has enough credits to come in as a second semester freshman in January.
In summary: these spring admit women have equivalent academic standing to the fall admits, they just aren't on campus until January. Anyone think this matters? Thanks again!
