[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS received a letter from the school that EA at BC is [b]more[/b] selective than RD. He wanted to apply to EA and get the process over with sooner. But now he is not sure it's worth it.

Any other schools are like that?[/quote]

That's what EA is all about.  It's not binding so it's more selective Notre Dame is the same way.  UVA advises that you not apply EA unless you're supremely qualified as well.  ED is less selective.  EA is more selective.

Are you new to college admissions or something?[/quote]

I am new to this process. Are you implying for all schools EA will always be more selective than RD? That doesn't seem to make sense.[/quote]

It does make sense. It is because there is no commitment, so the school doesn't really get anything out of it. In ED, the school might be willing to lower their standards a little in order to lock in yield and help with class planning. With EA, they don't really get anything. [/quote]
