[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, don't flatter yourself. It's called marketing. In this century, schools that DON'T flood you are few & far between.

Everyone else, GU has operated admissions the same way forever. It's not better or worse, but IMHO it's more fair than most T50 private schools.

[b]GU does NOT favor EA partly because they don't play ED rat race and they try (emphasis on try) to be as equitable as possible in keeping with Jesuit values of accessibility and inclusion. Cura personalis predates DEI btw.[/b]

Like MIT, the application is very straightforward and less effort than a lot of schools that use Common App but add extra essays or random "optional" questions.

Like MIT, [b]GU thinks required testing promotes equity given vast differences in access to rigorous college prep education and grade inflation/GPA variances. [/b]

GU does not superscore like MIT. They see all of them. So folks who can afford to take it multiple times with tutors can't cherry pick as much.

The tradeoff for no Common App and required testing is offset by alumni interviews for all. It helped me back in the day and I'm happy to do it now.

GU will keep doing it's thing to stay at double digit acceptance rate [b]drawn mainly from RD pool.[/b]

So yes, there's still time!  😉 [/quote]

Really? A lot of very top applicants were denied in the early rounds--perfect scores, perfect GPAs and great ECs, etc.  So they accepted less in the early round and still are taking primarily from RD?  Seems it was a waste to EA there when they appear to not give it any preference.  Btw, their EA doesn't require anyone to attend so its not like ED, it doesn't hurt DEI.[/quote]
