[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some schools have much higher acceptance rates if you apply earlier:

These statistics only count the early applicants who are accepted early. Many colleges defer decisions on some early applicants, accepting them after the deadline for being counted as early admissions, so the eventual acceptance rate for early applicants is often even higher than these numbers indicate.

These are all EXTREMELY expensive schools.

Washington and Lee is $62,000 per year.  
Bucknell is $61,000 per year.

Who can possibly afford this?  Especially if you have multiple kids.[/quote]

Yep, this is another nice perk available to the wealthy. ED makes sense only if you know you can pay full price and so aren't dependent on financial or merit aid.[/quote]
