[quote=Anonymous]If the SCEA schools had any sense of fairness for students, they would accept applications and announce their results before the ED and EA deadlines of other schools.

Instead they bar kids from applying to any other private school and thus channel over 90% of the applicants without any hooks into the brutal RD rounds where admit rates are in the low single digits after they get deferred or rejected. It would be tolerable if they broke down their admit stats for the SCEA rounds so that unhooked kids could see their dismal chances, but they deliberately conflate those stats with that of legacies, athletes, URM's etc to maliciously and deliberately conceal and mislead unhooked applicants with a larger dubious admit rate that never applies to them. Talk about market power abuse. The only thing that would make this worse is if this were SCED, but wait.... For all practical purposes it really is just that....

They of course have the right to do whatever they want, but I can't believe that unhooked kids still take the bait. At least ED schools let you apply elsewhere in case it doesn't work out. [/quote]
