[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be clear, easier does not mean kids with lower stats get in (other than maybe athletes and big wig types). It simply means that if your stats are above 50% range of chosen school, you have slightly better odds of winning that lottery. [/quote]

Agree but you made  a critical exception wrt to the small liberal arts colleges where a quarter of the students are varsity athletes. If your child is not a recruited athlete, he/she does get much of a bump at Amherst, Williams, etc. As a poster said above, though, Middlebury and others (Colby?) are a different story because they take a huge percentage of the incoming class ED. They do it to create a "we love our school" atmosphere and to protect their yield and probably for a lot of other reasons. Tulane has been doing this for years, even taking kids with lower scores early and people have accepted it.

I am nitpicking because a smiple glance at the ED acceptance rate vs the Regular acceptance rate does not tell the whole story, especially at very small schools with a disproportionate percentage of athletes. [/quote]
