As an ED 2 app, I am very nervous to hear back. After looking all over CC, I am still not sure if applying ED 2 is beneficial. Some conversations say that EA admissions went down this year so spots could be filled for ED2. At the same time, ED 2 is apparently a very competitive pool. What are your thoughts? If Northeastern was your #1 would you ED2?
If you can financially afford the school no matter the aid package, absolutely. It’s not going to be worse odds, so if it’s your #1 you have nothing to lose.
I don’t see how anyone can claim that given that this is the first year of ED2 for Northeastern. Based on ED1 though, it seems like ED is actually a weaker pool ever so slightly, and the acceptance rate holds compared to EA/RD/Overall. So it would appear there is some minimal bump, though it’s hard to say.
In the end this doesn’t change anything, so hold tight for decisions and good luck!
ED ALWAYS gives you a better chance. It’s favored towards the college. They know that you will attend and yield is important.
