Another poster reported Duke’s ED rate this cycle as 18.2%. Is that correct ?

The obvious takeaway from many elite school admissions results is to apply ED or SCEA or REA. Actually, a very reasonable approach given the craziness prompted by the Common Application facilitation of applying to a very large number of schools with ease.

^ Yes, seems right.

It is reasonable but only if you can actually see yourself attending the ED school. You don’t want to have buyer’s remorse.
