Ah, but they also have to be able to eat, get their dorm assignments, go through the naming ceremony, and the names need to be decided. That takes time.

They do go by semesters, but it's hard to assum they have rolling enrollment dates given they have specific dates when first years are put out on missions for the first time. Getting assigned to dorms, naming, and deciding the names can be done on another day. If we are talking about maximizing the number of huntsmen then initiation would be 2-3 weeks before the students spent their first night at Beacon.

That way there would be time for all the organizational tasks. New students would be accepted to fill the spaces from those who failed.

Hmmm. I think the missions work like co-ops. Co-ops are where college students spend a semester working in the field.
