[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quite a few posters here say ED is a huge advantage. Is it really? Based on what data? If you believe some admission statistics available in public space ED can improve your chances from maybe 10 to 20 percent. Not that much in my opinion. And half of it is probably legacies, athletes, etc[/quote] Statistical analyses from a few years ago have shown on average it confers a 1-2% advantage, but it can be higher at particular schools. People think that they can extrapolate from admissions rates ED vs RD in a straightforward way but it's way more complicated than that because of pool differences and the fact that every person accepted in ED will attend, but they have to assume something like 1/10 (or whatever their yield rate) of those accepted RD will attend. If you control for all the relevant factors, ED seems to confer a slight but consistent advantage. It's advantage may be in flux though as more people are opting to do it.[/quote]
