[quote=Anonymous]There really isn't that much advantage to ED acceptances (most indicate a 1-2% chance advantage at best--people don't know how to interpret admission rates properly) to make it worth the risk. Unfortunately there is a big advantage to applying ED. Some private high schools have graduating classes where the majority of the class applies ED somewhere. Many colleges get approx 50% of their freshman class from ED. For example, one school that has a 28% admit rate for RD, has a 40% admit rate for ED. Another has a 25% admit ED and about a 10% for ED. There have been many articles written about how ED is a tool for the wealthy and how unfair it is to the non wealthy. A few years ago several schools eliminated it for that very reason. [/quote]
