[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fascinating the misinformation being shared about ND admissions on this thread. Go to the ND website and learn that the only restriction associated with REA has to do with only Early Decision. A student can apply REA anywhere else. People are confusing REA with SCEA. [/quote]
I'm just curious and don't have a dog in this fight, but what exactly is the purpose of REA from an institutional standpoint? Like what advantages does it offer the university (or the student, for that matter) vs. SCEA or regular EA? I get SCEA, I get EA, I get ED...but REA as Notre Dame describes it doesn't make sense to me, especially because it seems like very few other schools have it? [/quote]

From ND's standpoint, high achieving students applying REA show commitment to enroll based on the fact they cannot apply early decision elsewhere.  It is much more fair to the applicant because it allows them to apply early to other schools as long as the applications are not binding.  I believe it helps with their yield somewhat while giving applicants choices.  High achieving students and legacy students are recommended to apply REA if they want the highest chance for admission.[/quote]
