UChicago, Tulane, Emory, Colby, NYU, BC, BU, Tufts, UMiami, Wake, Northeastern, Wesleyan, UVA pretty much any school which is outside the top 15 or so (plus SLACs Williams and Amherst) (UChicago is probably the strongest school where ED gives such a big advantage).

Northwestern has a 20% ED acceptance rate vs 6% RD. Also Vandy, WashU, Rice etc. So Basically any school with ED2.


Not this year

How is any of this determined?

Would be easier just to list the schools which don't provide a boost for applying ED. It would be a very short one.

VA Tech. The admissions office is very open that if you want to get in, apply EA. They don't take many students during regular decision

UMD states it takes 90% of its freshman class in early admissions, and only consider these early applicants for its Honors and merit programs.

Pomona has Ed2 but it hardly helps at all, and for most students has no boost.

If by "easier" you mean "will take a kid with lower stats" the answers here will be misleading.

If your kid is at or above range, then most schools are easier ED. Also simply getting the app in early helps too.
