<p>Three kids from my school just got in ED at Cornell. I have better grades, scores, etc. than all of them. But there are only 100 kids in my class. Will it hurt me that they have already taken three from my school?</p>
<p>It shouldn’t… but it might. </p>
<p>If you have better grades, scores, ec’s, and in general are objectively a better applicant it shouldn’t effect you.</p>
<p>That is the advantage of doing ED. They have a slightly higher acceptance rate and kids who chose to do ED are basically self selecting themselves and the school as being a good fit. </p>
<p>Hopefully that will not affect you. What state are you from?</p>
<p>It’s all a mystery.</p>
