[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems to favor full-pay students who are more likely to discover their #1 pick—can afford multiple visits (hotels, airfare, etc). Equity issue that could ultimately go the way of legacy admissions? [/quote] If they filled all their spots with ED, I'd agree that there is an equity issue here. But most schools fill less than 50%. As others have said, they want to lock in the full pay kids, so they can manage the yield and financial aid later.[/quote] And in reality, at most schools with say a 25% ED acceptance and a 8% RD/EA, those numbers are skewed. As all the athletes typically come in ED, you might be at 17% vs 8%. Add in quest bridge (which is like ED--early admission), and you might take that down to 15% vs 8%. So yes still an advantage but not nearly as significant as the official numbers state. [/quote]
