[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes protecting yield is an issue. But related to this is the fact that many many smaller schools are over subscribed because too many kids said yes. It is a huge issue at these schools that cant absorb like big schools. So ED obviously lowers the risk and they can spread the risk over fewer kids that aren’t ED. Blame the common app. [/quote] OP here. This all makes sense except in Furman’s case applications have been dropping over the past 2 years and the school has been underenrolling versus its targets (only 550 last year versus desired level of 700) for several years. Furman’s enrollment has dropped 3-4 years running now, so much so that Fitch just downgraded their bond rating. IT seems a risky strategy for a school that needs to increase full pay enrollment to jerk around a good full pay candidate from the region who will actually push up their test averages.[/quote]
