[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools do this to protect students outside of the top10% of the class from a very top student who gets deferred from their ED/SCEA school then will apply to 25+ schools and scoop up all the admits. Until you've seen this happen in your kid's class it's easy to say that it's shouldn't be a policy. But it does happen and it can impact the entire classes' results. If colleges get an app from a top private from a student with a 3.99/1600 they are far less likely to admit your child with a 3.85/1550 at the same time. [/quote] This is the first cogent explanation I have read for such a policy. (And GDS would help itself if it used this explanation publicly.)[/quote]
