[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that Georgetown, which doesn't have ED or ED2 and is not test optional and is not on the common app, is not on this list.[/quote]

The question becomes, are schools more apt to continue down the road of ED1 and ED2, or the route that Georgetown takes?  In a sense, Georgetown is able to stand out because it stands alone. But for every G'town, you have a Johns Hopkins, Chicago, NEU, Emory, etc.  When we toured Emory, the admission's officer giving the presentation was really coy about its admission statistics for its Oxford campus.  A lot of kids got rejected from Emory Atlanta but offered Oxford.  That boosts Emory's selectivity rates.  I really don't have a problem with a school that markets.  My child received mailers from Chicago even though she did nothing to indicate that she was going to apply there. I don't think the mailers was some kind of con game.

My child got mailers from a hundred different colleges. Even one from the UK. It is just advertising. [/quote]
