<p>Is there a difference between Early Decision and Early Decision II? If so, what is the main difference?</p>
<p>Exactly nothing but the date. Same binding agreement, same acceptance rate, but ED2 has later deadlines and a separate application pool. I went ED1 last year because I was so sure of my decision and wanted to know sooner than later. I was probably in the same pool with athletes and legacies, so if you’re REALLY unsure of your chances, go ED2. Otherwise you will be favored as either ED applicant over RD, so I’d recommend it. It’s a nice early Christmas present!</p>
<p>@NewDivide cool thanks! did you get in by the way?</p>
<p>Indeed, I am a freshman MechE there. I love it so far. Feel free to PM me with any questions, I’d be happy to help.</p>
