<p>Maybe Princeton doesn’t actually care about poor kids and minorities - maybe that’s just a smokescreen for the press, when in reality, Princeton simply believes that the type of kid who applies EA/ED isn’t as “well-qualified” as the kind that would apply via RD in a two-round system and thus wishes to increase its ability to admit the best of the best by pooling all of the applicants together.</p>
<p>I think there’s an Ivy Group agreement about when RD decisions come out, or otherwise I believe Princeton should consider announcing decisions on March 1st instead of April 1st.</p>
