Opinions:Early Decision vs. Regular Decision

<p>hi,
ive heard that there are obvious benefits of both.
But for Early decision, is the pool of applicants much more competitive than Regular??
ITs just that some top students apply to numerous top tier schools and not do Early..but
some top students do early.</p>

<p>but some say that Early decision has more expectations despite a higher % admit.
personally, i like the early decision because it shows that i am devoted to that school</p>

<p>what do u guys think? your opinion would be appreciated.!</p>
