American University Class of 2022 ED/RD Discussion Thread

Made this thread for those applying for the class of 2022.

Feel free to discuss questions, concerns, etc.

Check my thread please!!

American is my top choice for next year but it’s a bit of a stretch school for me, academically and financially. June 8th I’ll be going for my first campus tour. I’m not sure if anyone else is a in a similar situation as me :confused:

Is anyone still using this…?!

I think this thread will pick up after school starts and students begin to make their decisions. My son will be applying ED1 at AU. He’s high stats so that is why we are applying ED1. In addition to extensive research, we’ve been to a tour and a preview day so I have a lot of information if you have questions about ED. ED1 was 89% for the incoming class and ED2 was lower 80’s%. GW is our back-up ED2 if he doesn’t get in.

EC: NYPD law enforcement explorers (i have a rank of corporal) , upward bound, JSA debate team vice president, Cross country varsity team, and I’ve done an internship for howard university. I also put that I wanted to be a forensic accountant so since they’re near FBI head quarters i guess that has to do with it, and because of the law enforcement explorers.
