Since it's a comparatively easier ED admit, a lot of students don't have the option to go elsewhere, even where waitlists have moved in their favor.

Students who were admitted ED wouldn't be on any waitlists.

+100 and they have ED2 round too. So almost all students are locked in with ED1 and ED2. It protects their yield.

100% true. My Chicago kid sees that as a positive, though. He has friends losing potential roommates and feeling ongoing uncertainty. He's happy to be locked in and assembled a friend group that's locked in as well.
