<p>but wouldn't fewer people apply for spring?</p>

drop out during the spring or just dont return again for the next fall semester; they are able to acquire how many spaces they have left. Normally, students dont drop out immediately so there are less spaces available for spring.

<p>This assumes, of course, that the admit rate of a school depends on how many students leave. This method, however, is not the case for schools such as Harvard, Yale, Rice, Georgetown, and many others, who boast pretty much the same transfer admit rate year after year, regardless of how many leave.</p>
<p>Except for Harvard and Yale, schools that avoid this method are generally those that do not guarantee housing all four years or for transfers. Brown comes immediately to mind as a school that guarantees housing, thus leading to a difficult transfer process.</p>
<p>yeah, i know, but schools such as vassar go on by the method i just spoke of since its a small school and they can only offer a certain amount of spaces.</p>

<p>Perhaps next time you should state that, rather than the all inclusive "schools," which conduces to the impression that most or all schools engage in this practice.</p>
