[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These schools that won’t provide full info on their common data set are frustrating.  They intentionally make admissions more opaque, if that’s even possible

I have to think if they don’t publish something it’s because publishing it would mat them look bad.

Tufts not showing ED data is the equivalent of a student going test optional.  Neither really likes the number. [/quote]
Because a 40% percent ED rate, is embarrassing. Tufts boosters are constantly comparing it to Top25 schools and this quickly reveals thats a farce. If ED1and 2 are 40+% combined then ED1 is likely 50-60%. [/quote]

And Harvard sends 80%+ of their Early Action "rejects" into Deferral.  So ~700 are accepted via Early Action, they deferred almost 7K and then accepted about 10% of those.  So 1400 of the 1900 who matriculate in fall came from EA.  Because don't kid yourself, Harvard knows out of those 7K they deferred, 95%+ will attend if accepted in RD.  It's a tool for guaranteeing yield (not that Harvard has an issue, but this ensures it).  So almost 75% come from Early Action/harvard knowing it's the kid's top choice.

THat's what all schools try to do.  be it EA or ED1/2
