Abstract	Many high school seniors envision walking up the marble steps and entering through the historic arched front door of a stately, column-lined, academic building on the first day of college. Or perhaps the building is a new, state of the art, technology laden, donor-funded building. But, these ideal visions generally do not include waking up early in a dorm to get on a bus at their historic dream flagship university to attend classes at the community college in a nice, but unremarkable building. This is the reality for some students in American higher education, students who in prior decades may have otherwise entered through the historic archway of a university academic building on their first day of college. Instead, these students are asked to enter their dream public flagship university, not through the front door of admissions, but rather through the side door; a deferred admission alternative pathway that includes living on the university campus during the freshman year but having an academic life as a community college student. This structurally facilitated undermatching is explored in this article. (As Provided).
