There's a national system for a reason -- kids don't have their fin aid offers, etc. from other schools until mid-April. People should not have to commit to attend Alabama in February in order to get an orientation spot that's consistent with other ALABAMA programs. We're not talking about a conflict with a family wedding.

There are more OOS freshman than in-state, so if all the sessions are filled, then many OOS students have filled these as well.
Great points though -- maybe a good idea to consider using a (groveling) version of these with the orientation office when trying to be moved into an earlier session!
