<p>It depends on the school, of course. But look at the not HYP ivies. All of the HYP students that were "massacured" in the the EA round have applications in at the other 5 Ivies in the RD round. It is quite likely that the RD round at the non-HYP Ivies will have a higher "minimum" SAT/GPA cutoff than did the ED round EVEN IF THE SCHOOLS ARE NOT INTENTIONALLY GIVING AN EDGE TO EDers. And I think that they do give an edge.</p>
