<p>But who says we have to stay inside the lines? we never have before. go with whatever makes you happy.</p>

<p>I applied ED (and was accepted) and I know what you all are going through. Good luck, and if you are rejected/waitlisted, it is not the end of the world.
Hope to see you all in the fall.</p>

<p>made an opps, We've never colored in the lines before; why start now. go with what makes you happy.</p>

<p>an acceptance would make me happy :p</p>

<p>While I admire your philosophy, I do think certain stats, such as GPA and class rank, are integral to the decision of the admissions committee. If we are aiming to help this year's juniors get a sense of where they stand, we should at least provide rank/GPA.</p>

<p>It is true that too much emphasis is placed on the SAT. Why not make that component optional, instead of doing away with the stats section altogether?</p>

<p>what about this : </p>
