<p>Just wondering, how much of a boost do ED applicants get to schools like NYU Stern and Cornell CALS (or just NYU and Cornell, or top schools in general)? I asked my GC today and he said that the boost is much less than most people think, since a great majority of people who get in ED probably would have gotten in RD. How much do you guys think that ED will help? Will an ED applicant be able to get a pass for slightly lower stats than RD applicants?</p>
