[quote=Anonymous]My instincts on getting gypped always fire on this topic. RD vs ED: this is a wrong statistical argument. RD invites hail-marry applicants. ED invites traditional plays that should score. The statistical number describing the acceptance rate for the ED crowd is a sub-set of the RD crowd. So, I don't buy into ED has a 10% acceptance rate and RD has a 5%. Your chances are not doubled. ED incentivizes to wait-list kids to RD then accept (which keeps the acceptance rate to ED lower). RD incentivizes to wait-list those that wont likely accept admission. The kids that say I got wait-listed for WASP but got into an Ivy - I'm sure this is what is happening. It's all about exclusivity. [/quote]
