It was in answer to criticisms of early decision that, starting in 2004, [[Yale]] and [[Stanford University|Stanford]] switched from early decision to single-choice early action. [[Harvard]], [[Princeton University|Princeton]], and the [[University of Virginia]] announced in the Fall of 2006 that they would no longer offer early action or early decision programs, which they claim favor the affluent, and moved to a single deadline instead.<ref>[https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6059932&ft=1&f=3 NPR: Harvard Ending Early Admissions Process]</ref><ref>[https://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S15/86/07G08/index.xml?section=topstories Princeton: Princeton to end early admissions]</ref> The [[University of Florida]] followed suit the following year.
