Early Admissions at Selective Colleges
研究了精英大学提前录取政策的基本事实，包括提前申请者的录取优势，并提出了一个博弈论模型来解释学生如何通过提前申请表达入学热情。
Early admissions are widely used by selective colleges and universities. We identify some basic facts about early admissions policies, including the admissions advantage enjoyed by early applicants and patterns in application behavior, and propose a game-theoretic model that matches these facts. The key feature of the model is that colleges want to admit students who are enthusiastic about attending, and early admissions programs give students an opportunity to signal this enthusiasm.
