<p>Did anyone that applied EA get an email asking you to change to ED?</p>
<p>My daughter did receive that. She ignored it, because she is already Ed at another school.</p>
<p>That sounds a little odd to me. Any ideas what’s behind those emails?</p>
<p>same story as ‘anotherparent’ here</p>
<p>based on the nytimes article that shows the huge number of early action applications this year, I’d guess they are trying to predict their yield. also last year, the class ended up being about 100 people larger than they wanted, so perhaps they are trying to prevent this from happening, and can be more certain with early decision.
it is annoying for me though, because I applied ed and according to that nytimes article again, there was already a 40% increase in applications from last year… ahh well. I’ll know soon anyway.</p>
<p>Do you know the link to that nytimes article?</p>
