[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be fine with ending athletic admissions but obviously that should be done up front, not telling kids one thing and then changing your mind.

Likewise I don't get why the school would ever ask kids to move from ED1 to ED2?   Either you think they are good enough to be an early admit or you don't.  Seems pretty crappy to string kids along like that.[/quote]

The answer is the school is more concerned with yield than the applicants.  I was skeptical when the point was first raised but there are enough CC posters to confirm W actually does this.  What a second-rate BS practice.  The admins are garbage people.[/quote]

Lol…..what does yield have to do with an ED applicant?[/quote]

That's the point.  They are pushing ED1 into ED2, guaranteeing higher yield numbers if they choose to accept the ED2 student they already rejected.  Then they compare the hold over to any new ED2 applicants and apparently toss them aside.  But they give themselves the option of picking from folks guaranteed to come, even though they are not that interested in them.[/quote]
