[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we just don’t know yet. I’m so curious to see if demographics (legacy, under representative students, athletes) change at all at the top 20 schools or whether they ever even release this data again at all. There already is a lot of obfuscation in the CDS and if I were a dean of admissions, I would try to get away with his little transparency as possible from now on.

[b]My public school kid aimed for a top 40 school for ED1 and it worked out for him this year. He was a strong student, but definitely not the best from his class. The very top students in his class were mostly rejected or deferred from HPYSM and other Ivies.  But, who knows, maybe it will work out for them during regular decision.[/b] [/quote]

This is what I talked about in prior post.  AOs are seeing that by taking more students early rounds--they don't have space for superstars that show up in the RD pool later.  Some schools now try to keep the numbers the same early and RD.  [/quote]

But, then those superstars create a yield  issue (per the other thread on yp). How many schools did the superstars apply to? And, is this school now on the wrong end of the lottery? I've seen those YouTube videos of kids viewing their admission statuses.  It's nuts even when they get into half or a third of all the schools they applied to.  Mine applied to 14, rejected scea, but ended up having to turn down several top schools in RD. It's all topsy turvy![/quote]
