Schools that are way easier to get into early admission?

[Anonymous]

Georgetown was 11% this year so probably not it. I think that's pretty close to the regular admission rate - though likely both are a little high due to the lower denominator of not being on the common app

Wow!

UChicago, Tulane, Emory, Colby, NYU, BC, BU, Tufts, UMiami, Wake, Northeastern, Wesleyan, UVA pretty much any school which is outside the top 15 or so (plus SLACs Williams and Amherst) (UChicago is probably the strongest school where ED gives such a big advantage).

Northwestern has a 20% ED acceptance rate vs 6% RD. Also Vandy, WashU, Rice etc. So Basically any school with ED2.

ED acceptance rate at Rice and Vanderbilt was below 15% last year. WashU was around 30% and Northwestern around 20%.

Besides HYPSM where it doesn't matter that much, ED is an advantage at nearly all the top 30 private schools.

Post the difference if you know it!

OP, is ur student looking to get accepted at a “way easier” school? ED has already passed. Did ur child consult with their school counselor for an “easy” in?

The 15% for Vandy is the combined Ed1 and Ed2 rate. For Emory that is 25% and WashU 26%. Washu ED1 is 35%.

Pomona is a slight advantage. Middlebury and Colby are decent advantages.

How is any of this determined?

My unhooked kid got into Amherst ED. I don’t think any of this is determined except that there is a strong advantage applying ED to Colby or Midd. The numbers are clear there.

To be clear, easier does not mean kids with lower stats get in (other than maybe athletes and big wig types). It simply means that if your stats are above 50% range of chosen school, you have slightly better odds of winning that lottery.

False. See the SCHEV stats

Agree but you made a critical exception wrt to the small liberal arts colleges where a quarter of the students are varsity athletes. If your child is not a recruited athlete, he/she does get much of a bump at Amherst, Williams, etc. As a poster said above, though, Middlebury and others (Colby?) are a different story because they take a huge percentage of the incoming class ED. They do it to create a "we love our school" atmosphere and to protect their yield and probably for a lot of other reasons. Tulane has been doing this for years, even taking kids with lower scores early and people have accepted it.

I am nitpicking because a smiple glance at the ED acceptance rate vs the Regular acceptance rate does not tell the whole story, especially at very small schools with a disproportionate percentage of athletes.

OP didn’t ask specifically about ED, but continuing in the vein of ED that others have mentioned here’s a list in one place:

For EA, here’s an incomplete list of schools that boost admission (you can google to find more):

NYU has ED but not EA.
