<p>Like how much easier is getting in if you do ED?</p>
<p>In my opinion, a lot. I think the acceptance doubles, maybe even triples when comparing
ED and RD.</p>
<p>Most colleges have higher rate at ED ,but especially, Cornell has unusually higher acceptance rate for EDers.</p>
<p>The acceptance rate for EDers is about a third, while the RD acceptance rate is about 15%. That said, the ED pool kids are typically more qualified as a whole (yes, there are higher stat applicants in the RD pool, but the ED pool is going to be stronger when the pool is looked at in it’s entirety–a lot of kids apply RD “just for the heck of it” or as a big reach) and are committed to attending Cornell.</p>
<p>I don’t know how reliable this is, but when I was in high school, I know that a lot of people were saying that applying ED is roughly (emphasis on roughly) equivalent to a ~100 point increase in your SAT score.</p>
