if u are deferred by a college early and apply again regular, do colleges compare u to the regular applicants and accept u based on ur stats compared to the other regular applicants or do they only accept u mostly based on ur stats compared to the early applicants?
<p>When you apply either EA, SCEA or ED, if you are deferred in the early round you are automatically moved to the RD pool and are compared to the RD applicants. Early applicants typically have a higher acceptance rate than pure RD students because the college knows its their first choice.</p>
<p>yeah the only thing w/ ED is that you are going against a stronger applicant pool</p>
<p>EA is usually stronger; ED is usually a bit weaker.</p>
