[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The [b]only reason[/b] there is a higher admit rate is because the school is taking the kids they absolutely want - the athletes, the desired URM, the key legacy/donors.

The average middle class/upper middle class white applicant does not actually stand a better chance in ED.[/quote]

This is not true at most ED schools.  In the book [i]The Early Admissions Game[/i] it was found to give a an average boost of 150 SAT points to unhooked students - and yes they had the data.

I don't understand this thread at all.  Why not:

- Run the NPC
- If you can afford and it is your first choice, apply ED
- If the offer does not match the NPC. you have an easy exit from YOUR COMITTMENT.

Why is it not that simple?

All this talk of legal tests and being able to break your word without legal penalty to you (but certainly other penalty to your school and future graduates of it) is baffling, unnecessary, and quite frankly, immoral.[/quote]

I am not a poster you mention but I think where this post derailed is the OP's original suggestion that "you can withdraw if you don’t like the package."  Maybe that is saying the same thing you did but it seemed to me to imply a lot more wiggle room but that could simply be my bad take and not what the poster is implying.  Bottom line, if the school hits the NPC, aren't you on the hook?[/quote]

It's like any other contract, you're on the hook to the extent that the school is willing to enforce the contract. No school has ever risked it because it's bad business to trying an enforce and unenforceable contract. [/quote]
