A simple solution to any perceived antitrust issues would be for schools to drop the requirement that accepted ED applicants withdraw all of their applications to other schools and, instead, the school would require that anED applicant submit the first semester’s tuition in full within a short designated time following acceptance. If the applicant didn’t submit the tuition, the acceptance would be withdrawn and the application would then be denied.

It can’t be “outlawed” at private institutions

Don’t be ridiculous. Of course it can.

A lot of people, including alumni at ED schools, would complain.

I suspect it would negatively impact students needing financial aid. It's pretty clear colleges use ED to lock in highly qualified full pay students. They need them in order to be able to offer spots to students who can only attend with FA.


My kid got quite a bit of FA during ED, so not for the rich

I bet that a lot more schools would go to rolling admissions. Maybe not constant, but at least waves.

I wonder if it would have a less devastating effect than colleges think. Yes, yields would plummet at most schools and they would have to accept a lot more kids to fill their classes. But so what?
