When it comes to incoming class sizes, college admissions officers guesstimate
using awkward metaphors all the while (at my alma mater, no less):
“Trying to hit those numbers is like trying to hit a hot tub when you’re skydiving from 30,000 feet,” said Jennifer Delahunty, dean of admissions and financial aid at Kenyon College in Ohio. “I’m going to go to church every day in April.”
