[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Correlation =/= causation. There are a lot of reasons private school kids get accepted at higher rates that likely have to do with demographics, including legacy and athlete status, access to test prep and tutors, knowledge about the college process and ED, etc. [/quote]

+1  Also ED requires you to accept irrespective of the financial aid package you receive.  ED has always been affirmative action for the rich, and private school kids are disproportionately richer on average than their public school counterparts.[/quote]

This is flat out wrong.  The only way to get out of ED is if the financial package is not what was expected.[/quote]

The accurate statement is “ED requires you to accept without discovering whether similar schools might charge you less. Therefore no one who is price sensitive can afford to ED. Therefore ED is affirmative action for the rich.”[/quote]

More accurate:

ED requires you to accept without discovering whether similar schools who may also accept you had you applied might end up charging you less but this is in exchange for a high acceptance rate probability (and if successful, an early notification that effectively ends all the application work.) anyone who is price skittish even with knowing the upfront and accurate net price stated price, should ED to a school.

Plenty of kids ed who have financial needs ed. [/quote]
