USC网申问题！是否愿意提前，18summer入学？

If you are selected, are you interested in starting your MS degree in our summer term (starting May 16, 2018) instead of our fall term? (Your answer to this question has no bearing on our admission decision)
YES - I am interested in starting my MS degree in the summer term (May 2018)
NO - I want to start my MS degree in the Fall term

因为我是gap year中，所以不存在要留国内做毕设的问题
申的是CS
请教大家，usc的这个summer学期和fall学期相比的区别在哪里？有什么劣势？
选了这个会不会影响录取？虽然官方说的是没有影响
