[quote=Anonymous]I'm not the PP, but in general I think a lot of DCUMs assume that ED is a significantly easier path to acceptance, especially at schools with higher ED rates of admission. Any school with an acceptance rate below 20% is by definition a reach. That includes most of the NESCACs. ED may give some boost, but remember that some substantial proportion of the ED acceptances go to recruited athletes and legacies. Especially at small LACs like the NESCACs, they have to fill a lot of teams with a relatively small student body! So it's not really clear or certain how much of a boost ED gives an unhooked applicant, even one with great stats. It's worth a shot - my kid was one of the lucky ones - but we were totally prepared for a rejection because of the factors above.[/quote]
