[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would best best if school ED deadlines were stacked, starting with the top. [/quote]

100%

Would also be better if every school with SCEA just moved to ED. They have the best FA so it really isn't a concern for working and LMC and MC families. [/quote]

SCEA schools are that way because they don't need to lockdown the best talent. They know their yield will be 70-80% anyways. [/quote]

I know what they do it. But I wish they didn't act like it's so .. generous. "We offer SCEA because we don't want to lock you into anything, take your time, look around".  But it's 100% in their interest and not the students, as usual. SCEA blocks kids from applying EA to all kinds of schools. Why do they care if a kid wants to apply EA to ND?  Instead what happens is kids take the bait, do SCEA, and have nothing but a Pitt acceptance in December. It just adds stress. Offer EA or ED, but this SCEA is for the birds[/quote]

They likely don't want an applicant applying EA to HYPSM at the same time. You can already game the process as is. For instance, apply SCEA to Princeton and use your EA at UVA, UMich, Georgia Tech, etc. [/quote]

So they do care about yield[/quote]

I mean, the administrators at schools like Stanford or Princeton know they only really have 3-4 other schools that are real competition for their students. I think their conduct is more about preventing their best talent from going to their rivals. Schools like UChicago, Vanderbilt are trying to snatch kids that would've been HYPSM material in the early rounds by enticing them with a much-higher admit rate chance rather than rolling the dice in the RD round.
