[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people on here can’t grasp that ED is only available to rich kids and is a massive advantage over doing RD.[/quote] This overstates it. Systematic studies have found that it confers a 1-2% advantage. You can't look at acceptance rates or how much of a class is filled ED, you have to look at admitted student profiles. Schools ED know that every nearly student they accept will attend. For RD, they might accept 10x the number of students who will enroll based on their yield calculations. Increasingly schools are offering merit aid/FA decisions at ED to offset the perception that it is only for those who are rich and have special merit programs tied to ED for low-income. [/quote]
