<p>But the problem is that by the time you go through all of that you may end up missing a lot of RD deadlines or worse.</p>
<p>ED does give you your aid package at the time of admission, but they are not obligated listen to your appeal because you have already committed to coming. The out clause is not an easy one. Instead of rehasing it, the whole financial aid ED thing has been discussed at length on both the financial aid and Parents forum, I would sugggest that you read those threads to fain more insight</p>
<p>this is a lil off topic, but arent ED students a lot more qualified (academicalluy), than RD students, or am i completely wrong?</p>
<p>That's probably often the case, sat908, maybe even on a larger scale than I believe. I know Harvard makes it clear that EA doesn't give applicants a better chance, despite what the EA acceptance % says compared to the RD acceptance %. School officials say the comparison reprsents the strength of the EA pool compared to the RD pool. </p>
<p>On the whole, it's definitely true. A lot of relatively less qualified applicants apply during the RD round, but it's not fair to say that EDers are stronger applicants than RDers because of that. In fact, a lot of applicants who have such a strong overall application that they can probably pick and choose from among their favorite schools must apply RD.</p>
<p>does anyone know the size of the RD applicant pool, the number accepted, and the number that actually enroll? and do you know if dartmouth waitlists?</p>

<p>For 2007 anyways....</p>
<p>And yes, Dartmouth waitlists but last year I don't think they took from their waitlist.</p>
