more people who are applying to, say, harvard, will think at the last minute “hey i might as well send my application to northwestern,” will send it to northwestern, be accepted, but when it’s not actually their first choice school, just a “i might as well” thought, they will not end up attending. There will be many, many students like this and this will decrease yield.
