<p>Hi, curious parent here. I think Case Western is a great college option for my son. I just read applications almost doubled last year and they just added ED this year. Reading the acceptance info from last year, it seems like some great candidates got deferred or even rejected. Just wondering if anyone had stats on ED vs EA applicants for the first round. Also, any speculation on how much going ED will help over EA candidates. I just don't get how students can commit ED without comparing aid packages.</p>
