@thumper1 Sigh… I am not confusing the terms. Please reread my long post 36. While Hamilton says they are need aware for Jan admits I feel we slipped through the cracks.
Perhaps peruse the other threads that have discussed in great detail as all these points have been covered from a variety of viewpoints:

While what @Chembiodad posits in 33 is literally correct I feel we are missing the forest for the trees here.
A really really key point here is what @scrunchiee says in post 34. Hamilton has a very different program from Midd and almost ZERO students graduate mid-year. The London program is integral to being a Hamilton Jan.
And frankly, even Hamilton admits this, in the Hamilton Spectator:
According to Monica Inzer, Vice President of Enrollment Management, maintaining need-sensitivity and awareness in January admissions is necessary, because the College doesn’t want to “admit students for an option and program that they might not be able to participate in because of family finances.”
What she said Hamilton doesn’t want to do is exactly what has been offered to our family.
