I do think schools that consider interest may well defer EA applications for students whose interest in the school isn’t clear to the school as well as students who they want to place into greater context with mid-year reports and the rest of the application pool.

Yes, I agree.

There’s nothing new about EA. It’s been around for nearly 20 years now. Schools will do anything they can to protect yield, and that includes deferring applicants who they think are using their school as a safety, or waiting to see if “better” applicants come along.
