<p>You (as a student, not a parent like me :) ) might want to contact the Academic Resource Center and politely ask them if they could explain this better, and/or provide some statistics on the offer/accept ratio and raw numbers. I don't think it's meant to be a secret, and if the descriptions aren't clear it's worth letting them know they could make it more clear. (I just know what I learned from watching my son's experience last year, but he had finished his GIR core after first semester so I don't know how one calculates "majority" since his were done altogether).</p>
<p>If someone does follow up on this, post here to clarify for everyone, maybe?</p>
