bzk722 - Between 20 and 30 students arrive on our campus each spring semester as January admits. These students are identified as a strong fit for Rochester, but because of limitations in space on campus, we are unable to offer them fall admission. Between the fall and spring semesters, enough space becomes available to provide these students with housing.

There is an orientation program for the students in January, and we do allow them to transfer in a semester’s worth of work so that each is on track to graduate with his/her class.

I understand the difficulty in your son’s decision. As a high school senior I was given a similar invitation to my top choice University, and turned down the offer - but in retrospect I think I would have been fine making that adjustment. It really is a matter of preference, and it does sound as if your son has some wonderful options.
