Is applying ED2 a bad idea?

<p>So I'm planning on applying to NYU and I know if I get it, I'm 100% going. I was told that applying ED will give you an advantage but I was also told it would be a disadvantage because I would be picked out of the best of the best and the ivy rejects. My stats aren't as great as a lot of the other applicants so I'm afraid I'd just be shadowed by the other and better applicants. Should I apply ED2 at NYU? Would it be more of an advantage or disadvantage? Thank you!</p>

<p>It certainly would help, if you can afford the perhaps iffy FA they’ll give you.</p>

<p>Yeah I’m able to pay full tuition thankfully. @ivyhopes12</p>

<p>Yeah, if you don’t have to compare FA offers, then ED will help out with acceptance rate slightly. It’ll maximize your chances, assuming your application is complete and reviewed thoroughly.</p>

<p>And if you don’t request financial aid, you’ll have an even better chance at acceptance.</p>

<p>NYU is need-blind for domestic applicants. Although they historically have not met a large percentage of students’ need, they don’t consider an applicant’s financial need in the admissions process.</p>

<p>If you need significant financial need, do not apply ED to NYU. </p>
