[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA brought back ED because too many of their best qualified in-state students were using it as a safety. There is documentation about that, but I’m too lazy to find it. Essentially, highly qualified in-state students would get an EA from UVA, shop the Top 20 or merit scholarships, then make a decision. Now, a lot of these kids must choose UVA as ED or risk a rejection. [/quote] This is an example of everything wrong with the college admission rat race.[/quote] Can you tell us more? What do you mean?[/quote] I think the reference is to the gamification of admissions, and that students shouldn't need to strategize about their applications so much. Of course, it's the rankings causing it, but the colleges don't have to play that game.[/quote]
