<p>Do not mistake non binding EA for binding ED. Early Decision often increases your chances. Early Action is nice in that you know earlier, however there is no bump. </p>

<p>Also, when every other prospective applicant has been directed to the chances forum why would you think yours would be any different? UVa chances get far more responses in the chances forum then they do here. If you acknowledge that they aren’t accurate, you acknowledge that chances in general aren’t accurate. We have access to the same published data you do. </p>

<p>If you have a specific question, feel free to ask. People here are generally pretty helpful. Best of luck.</p>
