Does this mean that if you are applying to NYU or similar, it will be an easier year? Or will NYU just lock up the same number of spots ED and similar students in regular admission, with similar stats… and the applicants will feel nothing too different. And if there is a difference, it will be a tree falling in the woods.
So if you are a potential ivy, applying to schools from U Penn to U Wisconsin - is anything going to change at all for you?
