<p>I agree with GR Elton, eliminating ED SHOULD help all low-income students, though I don’t know if there was a large overlap between the low income students who would apply ED and those who would apply RD (versus those who don’t apply at all). </p>
<p>I preferred Fred to Rapelye, though I didn’t necessarily appreciate his Princeton Man concept. I think Rapelye has taken an extreme position compared to Dean Fred. None of these deans particularly courted egg-heads. I would say that Fred courted legacies/athletes relatively heavily, whereas Rapelye has courted women/minorities. Both frustrate me, as I fall in neither category (though I will ABSOLUSTELY support someone like Dean Fred AFTER I graduate and have kids who want to apply to Princeton) :)</p>
