[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[</em>] Essays: While I spent a lot of time working on the NU Supplement essay, to tell the truth I really had to rush through the Common App one (to make it in time for the ED deadline) which leads me to believe that they look much more closely at their supplement essay and short answers than the Common App ones

[</em>] State or Country: Florida
[<em>] School Type: Public
[</em>] Ethnicity: White

**General Comments:
Admitted to Weinberg</p>

<p>Do you guys know what the acceptance rate for ED is?? RD is supposed to be 30%, and it seems ED is much higher. Really really regretting not applying ED.</p>

<p>ED and RD are pretty similar. 524 out of 1411 applicants were accepted ED this year, which is a 37% acceptance rate. I wouldn't say that's much higher than RD.</p>

<p>RD is lower than 30. The overall admit rate for the Class of 2010 was approximately 28%. I'm pretty sure that the RD rate was lower.</p>

<p>Wow...a 9% increase is pretty big.</p>

<p>Hey Taryn:</p>

<p>Where did you find the statistics that said 524/1411 were accepted?</p>
