Curious.

I am wondering how this benefits Princeton.

Perhaps with TO on the table, they want to be able to compare all their applicants at the same time? Or perhaps they want to know who the full pay students are, before they commit to giving away more FA in the SCEA round than they have to? Traditionally many of those accepted early were athletes and children of alumni, and this would seemingly reduce those influences a bit.

It is shaping up to be a very competitve application season.
