<p>I am really not sure I understand the logic involved in eliminating EA/ED programs. As I understand it, eliminating these options is supposed to help under-advantaged applicants. I am not sure I understand why.</p>
<p>It would seem that many do appreciate early acceptances. Many of these kids hold off submitting a lot of additional applications. Without EA/ED, I suspect the number of applications/student will continue to skyrocket. I wonder if submitting a lot of applications will be difficult for the under-advantaged. I would think so.</p>
