integrity? gimme a break. This ED system is set up for the advantage
of the colleges. It’s a way to manage enrollment and tie down good
scoring wealthy applicants - it blatantly discriminates against low income
kids. It has spread down to lower level colleges, places like Muhlenberg,
Dickinson, that end up taking over 50% of their kids ED. It forces low
incomes into the RD pool where their chances and the amount of aid
available is reduced. They have also intimidated Guidance Officers and
the applicants with their phoney contract baloney. Frankly most of these
places ought to be ashamed of themselves.
