[b]What kind of person argues about a book they haven't read[/b]?  This is insane.  I am out.

When what the person says in multiple posts doesn't agree (e.g., in one post you say it's equal to "150 SAT points average overall" and then another time post a blurb that says "it can be as much as 100 SAT points" in this one you--where you cite actual information--you say it depends on the school (which makes much more sense than your original claim).  And I argued because I read an academic study that said it confers on average 1-2% admissions advantage which is wildly different than what you initially claimed the book said.  So I didn't need to read the book to know you were off in your initial information.

You don't know what average means.

You don't understand how samples work in statistics.

You refuse to accept the findings of experts. Fine, "[i]Do your own research[/i]".  I'm tired of arguing with you. The facts are you get a substantial bump from ED in most cases. Dispute that?

[i]The Early Admissions Game: Joining the Elite is a 2004 book which concerns early admission (a form of college admissions in the United States). The authors combine survey research with an empirical analysis of more than 500,000 applications to a number of colleges. They conclude that taking advantage of early applications significantly improves one's chances of admission. [/i]

[i]Applying early is not for everyone, but it will improve—sometimes double, even triple—the chances of being admitted to a prestigious college.[/i]

See, all these people have read the book, and you haven't.  Who are you going to trust?  Maybe Joe Rogan has an opinion?
