<li>Depending on the school, sometimes ED applicants are given a slightly larger chance because it's a binding decision. For the school, they can nail down a good "first crop". For the applicant, they get to hear yea/nay/deferred early from their first choice school. For those admitted early, they can sit back and be at ease. For some schools, ED doesn't give a significant statistical boost because the ED pool is still quite large.</li>
<li> ED requires applicants to withdraw all other apps if an admissions offer is made. Since it's binding, you need to attend. It can only work for one college.</li>
<li>No. Cheaper if you get admitted if one thinks about it. You don't spend any more money on other applications!</li>
<li>Earlier deadlines require more diligence on the student. Also, one can only be evaluated on the first three years of HS academic performance.<br></li>
<li> Since ED is binding, ONLY use it for your first choice.</li>
