<p>So basically I just found out that the early decision applicant pool is much more competitive than regular. For someone who is a borderline applicant like myself would it be wiser to apply early or just wait till regular decisions where it isn't as competitive? BTW this is for Emory University</p>

<p>IF you REALLY want to get into Emory, just ED it.
If you get UNLUCKY, you can still reapply, right?
and what were your AP scores?</p>

<p>Agree with above. If you are serious about Emory go ahead with ED. Also look at some EAs also UNC chapel hill, UVA etc.</p>

<p>If it’s where you want to go and you know you can pay for it, apply ED. Worst thing that can happen is that they’ll defer you to RD.</p>
