Date: December 21st, 2016 9:10 PM Author: big bisexual center And Williams College just admitted nearly 47 percent of next fall’s freshmen through early decision. That benefits the college, which has locked in much of the Class of 2021. Maybe it also benefits the students who were admitted and can now calm down, though I wonder how many felt rushed to identify Williams (or Duke or Vanderbilt or Colgate) as their truest love.

Date: December 21st, 2016 9:19 PM Author: Diverse Partner Resort My gf went to a "prestigious" northeastern LAC. (Note 1: I'm from the south, and had not heard of it. Note 2: Upside of LACs: she was a virgin when she met me, but now has a good little sex drive; I guess the guys who go to these places are so beta you just *can't* fuck them.)
She tells me -- and I guess I believe her, although it bewilders me -- that for certain kids (100.00000000% of whom are from the northeast), Williams really is their top-choice dream school. Not flame. |

deep down they'd like to do better but they can't and people need goals so they aspire to what's within reach
some 45-year-old lawyer making $180k would like to be able to buy an aston martin but he's content to aspire to an acura because that's his lot in life |

Georgia Tech gets honorable mention if you want to do CS.
I would mention UT but really UT is a shitty state school no matter the stats. Like for premed classes there is such a long list of people wanting in you can end up needing 5 years to graduate just because there was no slot for you in Orgo 1 in one semester. Fuck that. |

Date: December 22nd, 2016 11:19 AM Author: Mewling big-titted people who are hurt Binding Early Decision is basically a handout to rich kids whose parents will be able to afford to pay regardless of the financial package. Colleges love it because the more kids paying full sticker or close to it, the better. Kids from more middle class families who legitimately need to compare aid options get fucked. And yes I know that a lot of colleges give 100% grants as aid rather than mixtures of grants/loans, but that's calculated on the basis of "need," which I believe varies from school to school, so that doesn't really cure the issue.
