Is there a school filling close to half their student body with athletes and legacies? Plus, if you believe schools, legacies get a bump up, but don’t have a several times better chance of getting in. Look at the numbers and do the math. At some schools, ED acceptance rates are 3 times higher than RD acceptance rates. Even if you take out athletes and legacies, it’s still much easier to get in ED than RD at many schools.</p>
<p>@dadx: school enrollment expanded as well. Sometimes dramatically.</p>
