lowering competition. bethesda magazine showed it had the highest number of applications and yield within dmv compared to other top schools. these clowns think they can lower competition when acceptance rate is 5%

Do you have a link to that?

Confirmed that you are right about JHU. Competition is the most fierce in dmv:

School Applied Accepted Acceptance Rate
JHU 490 28 (5.7%)
Penn 490 31 (6.3%)
Chicago 171 11 (6.4%)
Duke 363 25 (6.9%)
NU 328 28 (8.5%)

Thanks! Never knew it’s so popular in DMV. Wow

Thanksgiving, Shavuot, Diwali, Lunar New Year, and Flag Day. And every third Veteran's Day.

This is certain mid-tier public schools; it is not a popular option with competitive private school kids, even as the ED2 fallback. Hard to convince most competitive kids to even apply.
