Tulane has used that practise for several years. For the class of 2010, they accepted only 35% of their applicants. Their yield was not good, but they decided to keep their standards and the freshman class is much smaller this year. I know they said that the EA applications for the class of 2011 were good and better than expected, but I haven’t seen any numbers.

For the Katirna year, they had more students show up for the one semester than was typical of the second semester. They eliminated some majors which did lead to a lot of transferring. They did a survey of accepted students that had turned them down for the class of 2010 and the overwhelming response was that the parents were concerned about safety.
