<p>is it more favorable to more or less qualified candidates?</p>
<p>From what I’ve seen with EA, less qualified candidates got in early while candidates who were more qualified were wait-listed RD. But that’s just my $.02! I applied EA and I think it’s DEFINITELY the way to go!</p>
<p>I also applied EA and would consider myself an average qualifed canadite for NEU (I fell pretty much at the mid-top end of their middle 50% stats). EA is nice since you get your decision in December, as well as the fact that if you are rolled over, you have basically a second shot. It just depends on where else you apply. (Some schools don’t allow you to apply EA/ED to other schools. i.e. Boston College won’t allow you to apply ED to another school and apply to Boston College) EA is nice and I can’t really think of any cons to it. I do know some admissions officers will tell you that EA is for a more qualified pool, but I think its pretty much the same.</p>
<p>It also really matters to what college you’re applying to. I completely bombed last year (honestly…you dont want to hear the grades), and I got in RD but I am a girl and applied computer science.</p>
<p>with an 84/100 should i apply early decision?</p>
<p>^Bear in mind, it is early ACTION, so you won’t have a binding agreement to attend should you (hopefully!) get in!</p>
