I just read about the 300 plus pool, the early buyouts, the scaling back on growth, etc.

5 months would be a lot of missed applications and interviews.
Until you start class they can realistically do anything they want and you have no real recourse.

HOWEVER, even after 9/11 they kept all the poolies who stayed with them. Some guys waited well over a year.
