[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cornell is weird this year. It used to take a large number ED from our school. This year they took zero. Even legacies got deferred. I almost think they may have a different admissions policy this year. [/quote] It seems like ED is used by colleges for 2 main reasons: 1) schools that are tired of being backup choices use it to lock in students who really want to go there, so they don’t end up with a bunch of students who really want to be elsewhere. 2) schools that want to lock in really special students they would definitely be accepting in the RD round. With the way top colleges are all getting insanely difficult to get into in the last several years, is it possible that Cornell has shifted from more of a #1 type to more of a #2 type?[/quote] Cornell reduced the percentage of ED admits last year. Push more to RD.[/quote]
