[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-- thanks-- that makes a lot of sense that ED could, or average, have lower scores, but those kids could have hooks that are important to the school. If you don't have a hook, maybe you really don't have any better luck with admission than you would with RD. [/quote] If your kid has a strong preference and you can financially commit, applying ED signals to the school that it's your first choice which might tip the scales in a later round. Selective schools care about yield and admitting students that they are pretty sure will enroll. Anecdotes are not data, but two strong students in my DC's friend group deferred in the ED round where they applied (no hooks) and both wound up being accepted RD - one to Swarthmore, one to Duke.
