S24 was planning to apply to CMC by December 1 for merit aid consideration, but he might end up switching his application to ED2 in January if he doesn’t get into his first choice ED, since it’s his second choice.
But we are wondering how unlikely it is for an unhooked applicant to get merit, and whether he should be prioritizing merit or just taking the best shot at acceptance.
Basically: Would it be better to either wait until January and apply ED2 straightaway, or alternatively, just leave his app as RD if he applies by Dec 1? Basically, would switching from RD to ED2 in January look bad and/or diminish any chances for merit? Is there much of an admission boost for ED2?
