[quote=Anonymous]For the SLACs with strong sports programs (i.e. the NESCAC schools, which include many of the top SLACs academically as well i.e. Amherst, Williams, Midd, Bowdoin, Tufts, Wesleyan) a huge percentage of the ED admits are recruited athletes, so they generally know their chances and have decided where to play even before they apply ED (via a pre read from the admissions office), another large group are likely alumni kids who have been focused on going to the school forever. So the much higher accept rate is no surprise. I think the advantage for a random kid without alumni parents or athletic recruitment is much less. Still there for sure, but need to be in the 25/75 range for SATs, have the GPA etc, and then instead of being a 1 in 5 chance might go up to a 1 in 2 or 3 chance if clearly qualified and fit into the general population academically. The schools do it completely to lock in their matriculating class and have a high yield[/quote]
