A Quick Cascade
Princeton Drops Early Admissions
Following Harvard, Princeton is dropping its early admission program. This has an even greater impact, since Princeton’s program was Early Decision (the binding kind), and accounted for about half of the freshman class.
Does this mean that a sudden avalanche is on the way? Probably not; at least, most of the other Ivies and other elite schools have indicated that their early admission programs aren’t going anywhere this year. Still, it’s a great step.
