[quote=Anonymous]Harvard law grad here. What Harvard did was try Early Decision, which was binding, as opposed to what we did for an in-state VA school, called Early action, which is not binding. I followed the movement closely in the University's magazine. It worked well for Harvard because it got the class it wanted immediately, and several of the Ivies followed like Princeton and Stanford, but it became clear that the move had set up a two deadline system in the U.S. Kids that had their acts together and were better prepped and ready to go applied E.D. to Harvard and those offering it. The rest slopped in their applications in January. The other colleges and universities hate it because those Ivies offering ED took the cream of the crop. Kids hated it too. The only ones benefiting was the Harvard admissions office, so when charged of elitism and pandering to the wealthy, Harvard dropped ED. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_admission [/quote]
