[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general, I think ED2 provides some real advantage.  Athletes and hooks are accepted in ED1 for the most part.  ED2 offers real advantage to kids without hook.[/quote]

This isn’t true, ED2 rates are typically only a few points better than RD, at least at T25 schools.

The schools where the acceptance rate is significantly higher in ED1 are Chicago, Emory, and Wash U (the latter two have acceptance rates over 30 percent for ED1).[/quote]

This is not true.  Say ED1 acceptance rate is 14%, ED2 acceptance rate is 10%, and RD acceptance rate is 7%.  
It may look like ED1 has a higher acceptance rate than ED2.  
However, ALDC are accepted in ED1 round, so the real acceptance rate for ED1 may be lower, say 8% when you remove ALDC applicants.
ED2 is designed for non-hook applicants, and offers a real advantage.

These schools are all D3, Emory doesn’t even have a football team, athletes  make up a small percentage of the class.

But let’s take a closer look at Emory to show why you are wrong — Ed1 acceptance rate was 32 percent, ED2 acceptance rate was 12 percent,  RD was around 11 percent.  Obviously, admission odds are much higher ED1.[/quote]
