Admitted in the Spring - What does it mean?

I had this experience last year when I was admitted for Spring 2013. I went to a Cal info session and they said something along the lines of “spring admitting is our sneaky way of getting around the system so we can accept more kids than we are supposed to.” I was kind of appalled at my spring acceptance though, since some classmates who didn’t seem like Berk material got in Fall 2012. So I figure it might be a lottery rather than the on-the-fence students getting Spring. I registered for FPF (with a waiver because I was eligible for finaid) but ended up not going and choosing USC over Cal.
