ED question

<p>I was just wondering if there's any benefit to applying ED if your a Canadian. Dartmouth is my first choice.</p>

<p>It is neutral as it neither hurts or helps you</p>

<p>It helps. I know 21 internationals were admitted ED…</p>

<p>But how many were from Canada?? </p>

<p>Even in the times when Dartmouth was not need blind to international candidates, they excluded Canadians and Mexicans as Dartmouth has always been need blind to this group.</p>

<p>I am sorry, but what is ED?</p>

<p>ED = Early decision</p>

<p>To be more specific, should a hooked canadian applicant apply early decison or regular decision? </p>

<p>thanks.</p>

<p>If it is your absolute first choice, no matter what (ie, financial aid), then by all means apply ED. If it isn’t I doubt that you will lose ground by applying RD instead.</p>

<p>This year there were many CC kids who were rejected or deferred ED who appeared to be extremely strong candidates, which frankly made me wonder whether ED is a good idea if you aren’t a legacy or a recruited athlete. It almost seems as if ED candidates are scrutinized more closely.</p>
