I think that some of the upperclass quota confusion might also stem from the fact that some campuses have "free" upperclassmen, rather than an actual quota and completely separate RFM calculation. On those campuses, I think it's fair to say that upperclassmen are just like quota additions.
It'd be interesting to know how many campuses have an actual upperclass quota, with the full methodology applied, how many treat them as quota additions, and how many make no concessions at all. Well, it'd be interesting to me.
