<p>Is there any advantage to applying to MIT EA? There's only a 2% difference in acceptance rate and it seems that usually ppl who apply EA are more competitive.</p>
<p>The advantage is that you get an extra few months to add supplemental information to your application – students who apply EA and are deferred have until mid- to late January to send in extra material and essentially revise their applications.</p>
<p>There is no official preference for EA applicants over RD applicants, however. MIT is committed to accepting only 30% of the class early action.</p>
<p>ah I see… thanks! do u also know if they accept November SAT scores when u apply for EA?</p>
