@bluebayou my point was actually to point out that there are some “ holy” schools that offer ED, and some of you were considering this “unholy” I guess. I did add that I knew that PC/Fairfield weren’t considered as selective as BC.
It appears BC wants to improve yield, maybe get some better high stats candidates that really want to attend the school locked in during the ED round. I don’t see anything wrong with that, especially if they offer decent financial aid to needy ED applicants. They can also lock in a certain percentage of high stats full pay kids, whose tuition can be used to offset the need of those applying for aid.
I have no dog in this fight, neither of my kids will be attending BC. I’m just familiar with the school and the types of applicants it attracts.
