Admitted in the Spring - What does it mean?

So before you all start pointing out how it says right there that “Your deferred admission is an indication of the size and rigor of our freshman applicant pool, which numbered more than 67,400 this year, rather than a reflection of your academic or personal performance,” but I was just wondering how true that was.

I mean, obviously a significant amount of people got into the fall semester, so how did they determine who that was? Was it simply because they were prioritized since they were “better” than us, or is it by some other weird alphabetical order (which I highly doubt). It’s just that this happened with USC for me too, and it’s kind of a bittersweet moment. It’s like you “kinda” got in. I just want to know if I’m misunderstanding it.
