As @“Erin’s Dad” noted ED is new to BC so it is impossible to know the impact it will have on admissions. That said my GENERAL understanding of ED from listening to admissions officers at different schools is that the acceptance threshold (what it takes to get in) for ED1 and ED2 applicants is basically the same. However the acceptance rates for ED1 is typically higher due to:
- the fact that hooked applicants (ex. legacy, recruited athletes etc.) who are almost assured of admittance apply ED1 and
- the ED2 pool can be a bit weaker as these applicants may have waited to show improvement in senior year grades, to retake standardized tests etc.
