Princeton Will End Early Admissions Next Year
Princeton University has announced that it will end its early admissions program next year.
Applicants for Fall 2007 admission are the last cohort who will have the option of applying under Princeton's binding early decision program.
Princeton officials said that they began review of the University's early decision program some weeks ago, prior to Harvard's announcement that it was ending early admissions. Like Harvard, Princeton said that a desire for greater equality in admissions was the main reason for ending early admissions.
About one-half of Princeton's Class of 2010 was admitted through early decision. Princeton's acceptance rate for the 2005-2006 ED pool was 26.8 per cent, compared to 10.2 per cent for the regular pool.
