Not thinking for advertising purposes, but just so that they have less problems.



Y has no problems as far as yield. Their WL serves the relatively small need they do have very well.

Seems pretty straight forward to me, Y only accepts EA the applicants they would accept from ANY pool of candidates. There’s no reason for them to accept anyone they’re not absolutely sure of, for those cases, they defer them to the RD round and compare them within the context of that group of applicants. The kids they do accept EA will more than likely be accepted to other top schools in the RD round if they choose to apply. This gives Y 3 extra months to woo these highly sought after candidates.

I’ve been saying this for several years now, it was nice to see Brenzel stating it in the YDN article last year.
