[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From College Transitions (2023 edition):

Colleges offer an ED 2 option primarily to improve their yield rates (i.e. the percentage of accepted students who attend)--an important indicator ...that can have significant influence on a college's ranking.

From another source (google why colleges use ED 2):

ED II is most often found at private liberal arts colleges.

From another source (google search why colleges use ED 2):

Offering two rounds of Early Decision allows the college to control its acceptance rate and increase its yield rate.

This source continued:

Bates College, for example, admits 81% of their freshman class through ED 1 & @ cycles; Grinnell, Pitzer, and Middlebury bring in 65%+ of their first years this way.

Not sure why SLAC supporters do not know & understand the primary reasons for ED 1 & ED 2.

Wrong again

You do not understand your own sources.

Drive down admission rates is clearly listed as a primary reason that colleges use ED.

Lock in students.

And lock in tuition revenue from wealthy families.

Again, you misunderstand ED and you get caught up in sub-categories while missing the big picture. [/quote]

Actually you seem to be the one focused only on what you want to see. You originally argued (wrongly) that ED is primarily used to increase yield. That is one reason but not the only. That's why the link was posted. Now you turn around and argue what was originally posted. You also argue that it is mainly LACs that use ED (1 or2) - wrong again.

You are entitled to your own opinion, just not your own facts.[/quote]
