...were so inclined, take the lead in eliminating early decision. If Princeton announced it was moving to early action or getting rid of early admissions altogether, Yale would surely follow. And if the so-called “Big Three” schools were all early action, the next tier of selective schools—the ones who derive the greatest benefit from early decision—would be hard-pressed to continue with the system. There would be little incentive for students to bind themselves to a “second-tier” school if they could apply...
...Tasty burger, the McChicken sandwich and special sizes of fries, soda, salad and various desserts. It may not strike anyone as anything particularly new, but it will transmit a unified, consistent message about a bargain.

The problem with occasional promotions is that "you train customers to come only...

For a student to break an Early Decision commitment to attend another institution requires...
