This isn’t true, ED2 rates are typically only a few points better than RD, at least at T25 schools.

The schools where the acceptance rate is significantly higher in ED1 are Chicago, Emory, and Wash U (the latter two have acceptance rates over 30 percent for ED1).

That’s not true - at a lot of schools, RD acceptance rates are much lower than the total acceptance rates. ED2 is typically around the posted acceptance rate. Shout out to Colorado College for actually posting their rates in different rounds, I assume most LACs with ED2 have similar trends.

What you are saying is not correct for T25 colleges, Colorado College is not T25.

What about Yale? Does SCEA give an advantage?

This is not true. Say ED1 acceptance rate is 14%, ED2 acceptance rate is 10%, and RD acceptance rate is 7%.
It may look like ED1 has a higher acceptance rate than ED2.
However, ALDC are accepted in ED1 round, so the real acceptance rate for ED1 may be lower, say 8% when you remove ALDC applicants.
ED2 is designed for non-hook applicants, and offers a real advantage.

Emory ED 2 is 13%. Emory RD is 7%. That's a 2x difference

These schools are all D3, Emory doesn’t even have a football team, athletes make up a small percentage of the class.

But let’s take a closer look at Emory to show why you are wrong — Ed1 acceptance rate was 32 percent, ED2 acceptance rate was 12 percent, RD was around 11 percent. Obviously, admission odds are much higher ED1.

No! I am not PP, and I am NOT talking about Emory!
Pick a better example! Dartmouth or Columbia!

Neither Dartmouth or Columbia has ED2 and no one identified them as particularly good schools for ED1.
