Anyway to update information?

Please accept this in the spirit in which it is being offered: I mean no disrespect and I certainly do not want to belabor what might seem like a minor point. But since both Deferred Early Action applicants and Regular Decision applicants submit MY Reports and they are competing for the same admission slots, it strikes me as unfair, at best, that Regular Decision applicants can submit additional updated information and Deferred Early Action applicants cannot. Given the holistic review process, it seems entirely possible that updated information submitted by a Regular Decision applicant could provide the edge over an Early Decision applicant who is not permitted to provide such information. And the fact that the Deans have decided that this is the process is somewhat troubling–at least for Deferred Early Action applicants. Wouldn’t it be more fair to limit all applicants to supplemental information included on the MY Report? Or doesn’t fairness matter in the college admissions process?
