| but in the case of stanford its not even ED its EA, which in my opinion demonstrates nothing regarding interest ( I applied EA to stanford btw, defered and then rejected). EA is the one that is absolutely useless in my opinion, the only thing it proves is that the student wasn't that lazy and was able to fill out a few forms ahead of time to apply to a school that he proabbly woudl have applied RD either way, but now he gets to hear their decision earlier yay! ( note the sarcasm in my online/virtually ambigious tone). If at alll EA is just a way for schools to make a profit off of the few students ( or not so few seeing recent numbers haha) that want to be able to celebrate an acceptance during christmas break.. |
