<p>I don’t follow your logic on how it gives students an unfair advantage. Even if it did, early action isn’t binding, so everyone could theoretically apply early which would cancel out any advantage. Schools similar to Harvard that have early admissions, like Yale and Stanford, say that applying early doesn’t improve your chances at all. The higher admissions rate is misleading due to the acceptances of recruited athletes, legacies, a stronger overall applicant pool, etc. </p>
<p>I think it’s very unlikely Harvard would go to ED, and I don’t see how EA hurts lower-income students or anyone else, so there’s no legitimate reason for it not to exist at Harvard.</p>
