[quote=Anonymous]My big observation seeing my son and his friends go through the process this year is that Early Action gives a negligible bump, if any at all, to an applicant's candidacy, while binding Early Decision gives a very significant bump. One kid was outright rejected from HYP in SCEA and then accepted by Vanderbilt in ED II. Almost across the board, the EA kids were deferred and the ED applicants got in. Obviously the SCEA schools are the most selective, but going ED boosted a lot of kids into next tier schools they probably otherwise wouldn't have gotten into - Duke, Vandy, etc. Another interesting dynamic has been seeing the stress of the SCEA kids. They're used to being at the top of the class and now they're left on the sidelines, waiting for RD, while so many other classmates are already all set for next year.[/quote]
