[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some schools are very attuned to yield and focus on offering admission to those they are reasonably confident will accept (Georgetown is a great example of this). Binding ED helps with yield. Really getting a feel for a kid (dad, grandpa, and great grandpa are all Princeton men? Yale might be hesitant to make an offer) can potentially influence an acceptance.[/quote] HYPS and MIT don't have binding ED yet their applications and yields still increase. Wouldn't ED have a net downward effect on number of applications? If you get in to your ED choice, that's it--one and done. And don't mean to be snarky but how would Yale know where your grandparents went to college?[/quote]
