If I can just be a thorn in the side for a moment,
So, if a school decides to PARTICIPATE in early decision in the coming cycle, that statement regarding the rationale for ending early decision does make the school look all that favorable (taking an action, which in the opinion of PharmCAS, is against motherhood and apple pie).
I would suggest that the rationale NOT be provided until the year of the decision for ALL. If any individual school decides to end early decision this year, they can, on their own, explain their rationale to their applicant pool.
Make sense?
