<p>It's definitely the end of an era at Princeton. Glad to see colleges are moving in this direction.</p>
<p>Bravo to Princeton! </p>
<p>Princeton will still dominate elite college admissions, as its focus is great and have a great school spirit, faculty, and students second to none. It resources are great. It is the end of ED, as we know it.</p>
<p>Dominate elite college admissions?</p>
<p>They lose cross-admits to Stanford, Yale, Harvard and MIT.</p>
<p>But then, Stanford, Yale, Harvard, and MIT's enthusiastic early admits all have the opportunity to apply elsewhere and then, by and large, go to their early schools, tilting the favor towards HYSM.</p>
<p>Princeton's ED, on the other hand, locks in the most enthusiastic of Princeton students at the place, and these students never appear in cross-admit numbers. The whole "who-wins-cross-admits" thing isn't easy to compare beteen ED and SCEA/EA programs.</p>
<p>By the way, why hasn't your alma mater - so confident of its cross admit edge - eliminated its early program?</p>

<p>Give it another couple of days I bet.</p>
<p>as with SCEA and low-income aid, ever the follower.</p>
<p>Admissions is a long race. It's best to pick off the leaders at the end from the inside track.</p>
