Funny Yields?
by Hella ~ March 9th, 2005Something interesting was pointed out to me about the whole ApplyYourself thing.
So most of the time, people will apply to similar sets of schools. With MIT now joining HBS in their decision to flat out deny admission to anyone who peeked, will these “unethical” few end up at a school not affected by this situation (such as Wharton)? Will some schools now end up with a disproportionate share of “unethical” admits? While 119 isn’t a huge number and not all of them received an admit, surely there are some who will have their affirmative decisions yanked. Maybe it’s just too small to even point out.

Curious: how would you feel if you knew that some of those 119 applicants ended at Wharton? Along similar lines, if you found out a classmate had checked their app status 2 weeks early through a website loophole, would you look down on them.
Personally, I wouldn’t care a whit, and I hope my school (Ross) would judge candidates on much more important things.

I thought about that too - but I don’t know if I believe the 119 were doing something unethical.
