ED2 vs RD chances

<p>I attend a small and rigorious provate high school in New Jersey. We often send kids to Brandeis, abd one has already been admitted. To give some context to the rigor we do all of high school in 3.5 years, because we spend the second semester abroad doing community service/ studying/ traveling (etc). My graduating class is 37 kids, so the school does not rank. </p>

<p>Everyone has a much easier chance of getting in ED vs RD. so if you know that this is your top choice then apply ED as it will up your chances of getting in. Don’t take me wrong though you still have a chance of getting in regular decision.</p>
