I’ve posted this in other threads, but the discussion on this thread seems relevant: I think any form of early policy (ED or EA) should be abolished. (Of the two, EA looks like the lesser evil, but they’re both policies that adversely impact applicants.)

For a great summary of the issue, along with some discussion of Penn, see here: https://facultystaff.richmond.edu/~bmayes/pdf/the_early_decision_racket.pdf

That article is from 10 years ago, but, as general inequity has really only increased of late, I’d be surprised if the issues noted in the article haven’t just grown over the past decade.
