<p>Another point - people routinely graduate at times other than 4 years. Some with lots of APs and an easy major will graduate in less than 4 years while others taking difficult courses like engineering or certain major/minor combos or double majors might graduate in more than 4 years. It’s easy to end up having a couple of years difference in graduation dates depending on the major, etc. After your first quarter there you’ll be pretty much in the same routine as everyone else. It won’t matter at that point that you were a Winter admit. </p>
<p>Frosh/Soph/Junior/Senior standings are tied to units - not years. There’ll be some people who have Soph or Junior standing in their first or second quarter due to AP credits even if they don’t count for getting them out of classes.</p>
