[quote=Anonymous]The college admission process is very inefficient. Students apply to 10+ even though they will use only one spot at the end. This clogs the system. I am sure it all ends up with matches that are subpar (both from the perspective of students and schools). Reforming the system would be great, but realistically there are too many unknowns and nobody wants to risk a fiasco. Meanwhile, ED is a tool that helps things become more efficient by clearing a portion of the market before RD. If one does away with ED, the overall inefficiencies in college admission would increase. There would be more well prepared students applying to multiple schools. What we need is more incentives for ED application, possibly creating a dedicated financial aid fund. Ultimately it is about generating incentives for students prioritizing a school.[/quote]
