Looking at the previous posts from last year, it seems that ED2 has the lowest acceptance rate out of ED1, ED2, and RD. Is there any reason to do ED2?
ED2 had a lower acceptance rate because it simply had more applicants if I remember. Probably just tons of overconfident people thinking that even though they did not get into first choice, that Emory, the second choice is far easier to get into because of its acceptance rate (reality is, decisions at Emory are a bit “random” due to being super duper holistic). Don’t think of this strategically because the applications are basically all reviewed if you are even remotely qualified. Either Emory wants you or not. I mean, do not apply ED1 if this is not your 1st choice whatsoever. If your first choice is a school that appears much more selective and you really want to give it a shot, go for that ED1 if that plan is available.
