Hey guys-- sorry about the blunt title haha,

So don’t get me wrong-- I’m happy to be admitted at all.
But I’m just wondering, what is a Spring Admit? I mean, what differentiates those who have been admitted for the Spring from those who have been admitted from the Fall? Looking around, I’ve seen a lot of people state that Spring Admits typically have much lower stats. I have a hard time believing this, though. I’ve also seen people call Spring Admission the equivalent to a waiting list.

So basically, does being a Spring Admit mean anything in particular?
