In terms of admissions rates, is there much of a difference between ED I and ED II? Just curious.
Depends on the school, and the applicant pool. The fact that ED has a higher acceptance rate is often misinterpreted, the people who apply ED are generally more qualified than those who apply RD.
Not really.
Sometimes people just apply ED I to one school, get rejected, then apply ED II to another. No one would just apply ED I or ED II just because the rate is better.
