[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Additionally, even many elite SLACs have had to resort to a second round of binding ED admissions in order to secure students.

Some of those LACs are: Bowdoin, Bates, Colby, Carleton, Colgate, Colorado College, Connecticut College, Davidson, Denison, Grinnell, Hamilton, Kenyon, Lafayette, Harvey Mudd, Middlebury, Macalester, Mount Holyoke, Pomona, Pitzer, Oberlin, Rhodes, Reed, Sarah Lawrence, Smith, Scripps, University of the South, Skidmore, St. Olaf, Swarthmore, Trinity College, Union, U Richmond, Vassar, Wash & Lee, Wellesley, Wesleyan, Whitman College, Bryn Mawr, Claremont McKenna, College of Wooster,  Dickinson, Franklin & Marshall, Gettysburg, Haverford, Occidental.

Without a second round of binding ED admissions, these SLACs might no longer qualify as selective LACs.[/quote]

You don't seem to understand the history or purpose of ED. It is used by highly selective colleges and universities because of institutional priorities (donors, athletes, URMs), financial aid planning, and to increase yield. There are many top National Universities that offer ED2 including University of Chicago, Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, NYU, Tufts etc. I know off the top of my head that Williams and Amherst do not have ED2. What you seem to fail to understand is that ONLY brand name schools can use ED (1 or 2).[/quote]
