Actually I feel like ED applicants’ proportion to all applicants make sense because first off, the ED applicants are those who really want to attend Penn and perceive the school as their first choice. They are the ones who want to be the most committed to Penn. Meanwhile RD applicants apply because they either had another first choice college to which the applied to ED and got deferred or accepted or they are applying to a multitude of schools and just want to at least get in one of them (or something along those lines).
So the ED applicants really deserve more ‘spots’ (I’m not saying they’re more qualified than ED). Plus I mean it’s around 50-55 percent of the actual class each year. It’s very reasonable
