Is ED better chance than RD

<p>In general, for someone with a pretty good GPA/ClassRank/ECs yaada yaada yaada and no hooks whatsoever, except being from NC (not sure if that matters) will their chance go up any if they applied ED instead of RD?
I know that ED chance of getting in is like 30% vs. 15% for RD, however wondering if ED mainly helps or takes athletes/legacy etc.
So basically for a given stats. will the chance of getting in be the same for both ED and RD?</p>
