Interesting article but I don’t think there’s any thing “new” here to most of the people that follow it on these forum’s… the idea that it’s in the Times means it will get a broader audience which is a good thing. I will say that the reporting of it was fairly well done (how often do we see misleading or outright incorrect information??). The one data point that stood out to me:
According to Mr. Murphy of Class Action, the number of schools that admit, via early decision, more than 40 percent of the first-year students who enroll has grown nearly 50 percent since 2015. There are 73 now.
