Applying to American University ED 2

I’m a junior in high school and I’ll be applying to American University next year. I love the school and I’ve heard that Early Decision gives you a considerable advantage. I was wondering if ED 1 and ED2 have the same acceptance rate? Also, if anyone has any experience with American University please let me know what you like and dislike about the school. I intend to major in journalism and minor in Spanish (or maybe latin american studies?) What is the social scene like? Are the people friendly?
