<p>Another thing that I noticed and I was told this by admissions officers on campus that one would have the same chance of getting in ED than RD. While I understand through ED often has a pool of almost automatically admitted athletic players and whatnot, that does not really make up the difference. Some schools have vastly differerent ED and RD admissions rate. at Univversity of Rochester I believe their admission rates are roughly the same.</p>
<p>I believe WashU had an ED rate of roughly 31% in 2012. When I visited campus my interviewer said the admittance rates were the same and you don’t really have an advantage, admissions-wise, by applying ED.</p>
