<p>Look at the accepted EA boards for Harvard on CC. Most are also applying elsewhere. Is there an actual stat for that second point of yours? </p>
<p>And wasn’t Yale’s yield rate going up for the years before they switched to EA? Is there an actual published report of ED hurting their cross admit with harvard? And how do you connect ED with falling to 3rd in USNEWS? I don’t see the connection, especially since USNEWS dropped the yield factor a few years ago and it didn’t change Yale’s rank. </p>
<p>Levin is actually a major proponent of dropping the entire early admission program altogether - something which I wish Yale and every other school would do, kids are under too much pressure these days.</p>
