Any advantage applying ED?

<p>I am really interested in F&M and am considering applying under ED II. Does F&M historically give a lot of emphasis to early applicants? Will there be any significant advantage to me applying EDII?</p>

<p>PS- I am an international student and I will need aid.</p>

<p>check out college board…apparently, F&M takes a huge % of their class ED (and a much higher percentage of students are accepted ED)…probably the highest in the country fyi</p>

<p>There is a huge advantage to applying ED at F&M. The acceptance rate is MUCH higher and most of the incoming class is accepted ED.</p>

<p>I’m considering it too. But I’ve heard most internationals are deferred at most selective colleges if they are applying for aid, unless they’re absolutely outstanding.</p>

<p>If F&M is your 1st choice, definitely apply ED. They weigh student commitment as a factor- just as previous posts indicate.</p>
