The New York Times, January 2, 2017: (Opinion) Is the Early Decision Process Inherently Unfair?

"Our early-decision group shows increases over last year in three critical areas: students from the three lowest income quintiles (to 19 percent from 16 percent); first-generation college students (to 10 percent from 7 percent); and students of color (to 30 percent from 26 percent). Those numbers don’t include the 16 students who will join the class of 2021 through the Questbridge College Match. All are high-achieving, low-income students who qualify for a four-year, $0 parental contribution."
