[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's be honest.  If you are going to ED, Chicago is the only one that provides a boost among

T20 schools and WASP.  No much difference for other T20/WASP between RD/ED.

Chicago RD is impossible to get in.  We have kids in the top one third or even top half got in Chicago in the ED round.  Its RD round requires HYP caliber.

More than 70% Chicago students are admitted in the ED round.  Less than 30% admitted in the RD round.[/quote]

Several other T20 schools also have an ED boost:  Brown, Cornell, Penn, WashU, Vanderbilt.  In fact, at all T20 schools that have ED, with the possible exception of Dartmouth (which is small and may focus ED on athletes and institutional priority kids), there's a pretty good boost for ED candidates over RD candidates.

Brown and Penn do not have a boost, Cornell did until 2024 cycle where they started taking less in ED. The slightly higher admit rate is due to the pool applying, if you back all the hooks out it’s not an advantage. They say as much on their websites and from AO’s directly. [/quote]
