Scripps, on the other hand, provided TSL with its Early Decision I data.Scripps College is a private institution that was founded in 1926. Stanford University announced last August that it will stop announcing both ED and regular decision admissions rates because it wants to reduce the emphasis on admission rates and encourage all students to apply. And although Santiago Ybarra, Pitzer College’s admissions director, initially agreed to provide TSL with ED statistics, he later said via email that Pitzer had reversed its decision.ĬMC, Pomona, Mudd and Pitzer are not alone in deciding against releasing ED scores before regular decision is announced.
”Ĭlaremont McKenna College spokesperson Peter Hong confirmed CMC will wait until after the regular decision cycle to release any admission information.
Osgood said early admission information can also be taken out of context and “broadcast in a way that speaks less to match and more to applicants’ strategy. Peter Osgood, Harvey Mudd College’s admissions director, said via email that Mudd has also “gradually moved away from supporting things that add stress to an already mysterious and anxiety producing process for high school students.” Scripps College did release its ED statistics.Īdministrators said they made the change after determining that releasing early admissions information while regular decision applicants are still waiting to hear back from the colleges ― which generally occurs April 1 ― “contributed to unhealthy feelings of angst and pressure among our current applicants,” according to Seth Allen, Pomona College’s dean of admissions.
