Colleges have been criticized for admitting more students through early decision, which benefits wealthier applicants. Without affirmative action, it could be a boon for diversity as well—depending how colleges use it. It’s that time of year again, when students across the country anxiously await the delivery of specially wrapped packages: early admission letters.
