You can tell from the profiles of schools like the private Colorado Academy just how advantageous to the wealthy ED is.  Virtually every one of the profiles of these schools report the same pattern—many graduates enrolling in second tier expensive privates more than anywhere else.  In this  school’s case, you see 12 enrolled at Tulane in the last 4 years, and you just know they’re all ED.

Also noteworthy that the school had 11 enroll at UVA and zero at UMD in the same time period.  Clearly one has the national reach and reputation that the other lacks, the protests on this board notwithstanding.  [/quote]

Looked at the school profile and this must be a big deal for them. Tulane is one of the most popular colleges for Colorado Academy. A few other colleges at 12 enrolled and then only Colorado above that in terms of enrollment.[/quote]

For them to take this step, I’m guessing it was a more systemic issue than just one kid.[/quote]

Our friends' kids go to this school. It is not systemic. It was not on the school. It was a choice of one family. The school and the counselor can do all the right things and yet still not be able to control the actions of an individual family, especially when EA and ED applications all have similar due dates and all app materials are turned in at the same time and offers are made on a similar timeline. It only affects the current seniors and per what my friend reports, this is a topic of serious discussion between the school and the families of current seniors. It sounds like the school is handling this with grace and is appreciative that Tulane notified them of the penalty so that they can encourage students to use their ED application opportunities on other schools.
