<p>I’m applying for RD here and am pretty nervous about it. Do you know if they are typically more lenient for ED than RD or is it about the same?</p>

<p>From what I have heard, there are more competitive applicants in the ED pool, but my Interviewer told me that chances are about the same for both… not sure if he was just being nice/polite or not :/</p>
