Wake Forest 17% of admits are binding early decision

I was shocked that 17% of Wake Forest's 2026 admits enrolled via binding early decision:

According to their webpage when you apply ED you have 2 choices:

1 -- a $20,000/year scholarship. This one seems more competitive that option 2.

2 -- No scholarship.

Note: Their tuition+fees is $62,124/year

Top California law firms now want students to apply as they start school

https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/california-law-students-22371918.php

I fear for this student quoted:

“In the back of my mind, I’m like I have to make this work, because if I don’t impress these people, then I will be hard-pressed to find a different job that pays as well,” the UC Berkeley student said. “Law school is $300,000 … I don’t have any money to cover that, and I didn’t get a scholarship. It’s kind of brutal.”

86% of students get a scholarship at Berkeley and only 61% get big law. If they're in the bottom 14% of the class coming in and with no 1L grades to counteract that, I'm not sure how they stand out in a positive way. Because if they could stand out in a positive way they wouldn't be getting zero aid.
