summer melt
Colleges and universities see a fair amount of last-minute movement, known in admissions circles as "summer melt," when students change their plans or decide to attend another school after getting in off the wait list.
The percentage of accepted applicants who actually enroll at the school that accepts them is known as the "yield." Other college-admissions terms include "N.I.P" for "not in profile," referring to undergraduate students whose SAT scores are excluded from the published range of scores for that school, and "development cases," students whose families are expected to make a large contribution to the institution.
