Chicago won't risk yield rate hit by dropping early action

<p>My good sir, we can argue by proxy as much as you want, but I’m not going to go out and buy a copy of “The Early Admissions Game”. According to the Harvard Magazine, though, the statistics are probably exagerrated:</p>

<p>Furthermore, the University of Chicago aggressively targets disadvantaged and minority students. Unfortunately, and nobody likes saying this, you’re going to find that most disadvantaged and minory students are not of the caliber required by top universities. If early action were really disadvantageous to such students, don’t you think that universities would drop the program, so that they could brag about an increase in minority applications?</p>
