<p>There is a higher than usual summer melt at a few school. How hard it will hit the final numbers remain to be seen, as transfers and waitlisted reserves will be called, as they are being done even now.</p>
<p>NYU, Cornell, Penn State are all doing this with alternate admissions plans, as well as UMD CP, that I know about. None of this is brand new. Apparently some of this has been happening for a long while, but it is now becoming more common. Also selective colleges are buying ancillary schools and sending kids there (NYU is one example) with some stipulations that have to be met for them to transfer into the main school.</p>
