Early Decision vs Regular

What if someone has applied for early decision and does not get in. Will the colleges consider the candidate under regular decisions?
All I want to know whether it is feasible to apply for Early decision vs waiting fir regular decision.

In applying ED, the following decisions can occur: accepted, rejected, or deferred to RD.

Some colleges defer most non-accepted students. Others reject a large percentage of ED applicants.

Whether you should apply ED depends if it is your top choice school, is affordable, and if your application will not be significantly stronger if you wait.
