@Mwfan1921 Correct. My understanding is that the 3 practices were NOT allowed by NACAC beginning 2017 until a couple months ago. There was no prohibition against them before 2017 and once again there is no prohibition against them today.
Was there any great change to ED perks, poaching, and transfer offers over the past 3 years? Perhaps, but I have not sensed it. This is why I am skeptical that there is some monumental shift, like “the end of ED!!”
Thanks @TomSrOfBoston . That makes sense, though still a mean-spirited practice IMO.
@Lindagaf I agree this will affect only a small number of students, yet it may cause deposits to rise. I frankly think the deposits are surprisingly low as is.
Of course, generosity in financial aid would be the surest way to retain all the acceptees. Though that’s more expensive than preferred housing, etc.
