Is this a normal ED applicant pool

<p>Is this only my imagination? don't you guys think that the ED pool is exceptionally higher than than the norm applicants - higher GPAs, higher test scores and much more ECs . what's your thought on this?</p>

<p>It seems like it. I know Columbia rejected lots of qualified, at least statistically, applicants. Some of the people who I thought where shoo-ins were rejected.</p>
