<p>Why bother? ED is a trap. You are far better off applying RD to as many schools as your heart desires and then comparing offers.</p>

<p>^Until you don't get any because of using that approach.</p>

<p>^ Well, if you properly strategize and apply to a sufficiently balanced number of match and safety schools, then that is not a problem at all. ED tells the college you are coming if they take you and that is all. It is controversial and some schools have dropped ED altogether, which I applaud. </p>

<p>If you only apply to reach schools then yes, you run the risk of being out in the cold in April and having to scramble for last minute rolling admissions schools.</p>

<p>I don't see ED as a trap. I applied to my first choice ED because it was the only place I really wanted to go. Not only did my choice of applying ED show that to them, but now that I have gotten accepted I do not have to worry about finishing other applications that I wasn't that enthused about to begin with. And as my friends are now scrambling to finish essays and supplements I am all done and could not be happier about it! : )</p>
