ED for Columbia?

<p>Can somebody please explain me one thing about early decision.I heard that people with only high stats(2100+ SAT)usually apply on ED.But what about people with 1900-2050 scores?Should they apply?Will it increase their chances of getting in OR do they have any chances of getting in with other ED students?</p>

<p>Usually the ED students are of a very high standard.
however admission will depend on more than SAT scores. I know sombody that did and they got waitlisted...but it depends.</p>

<p>When somebody gets waitlisted-that person usually doesnt get in right?</p>
