[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duke has ED and RD. 
Princeton has single-choice early action and RD.

Chicago has SSEN or ED0, ED1, EA, ED2, RD and now provisional acceptance. Is it all just a game to them?

Yes, it's game theory, don't hate the players, hate the game (admissions process). For the home of Economics, this is what they do, I admire it, super smart to match university/student. This is an intellectual approach of matching, from one of the most intellectual places. For those that don't know, game theory is the mathematical study of strategic interactions between rational decision-makers. This is what every college should be doing. They are just outsmarting you lol [/quote]

You don't know what game theory is, do you?[/quote]

DP. It appears to me that you don’t know much about game theory, PP! And before you jump all over me, I do have a PhD in economics from a top 3 school (not UChicago) with a specialization in theory. [/quote]

DP.  I agree Game Theory played well. Even with the close locations  of JHU,  UPenn, Georgetown, ... Chicago still gets similar percentage despite the distance.  DCUM tried to game the system - U Chicago countered; I think the complaint is that the DCUM Game isn't working against U Chicago.
