<p>Rlmail - I’m not puzzled as to why Chicago’s number of EA apps is so high - since it’s a non-restrictive, non-binding policy, I understand why Chicago receives so many EA apps.</p>
<p>My question, though, is in the RD round, why does Chicago receive less RD apps than Duke or Brown or whatever? In the RD round, I’d imagine that students would want to cast their net as widely as possible, as RD is getting to be so competitive. Why does Duke receive ~25,000 RD apps, and Chicago receives ~18,000 RD apps?</p>
