<p>Does anybody know if applying EDII help the chances of admission? I know Tufts is my number 1 choice and would be very happy spending 4 years there. Any info would be appreciated</p>
<p>I always thought it did but Dan has said elsewhere on the forum that it does not.</p>
<p>Let’s put it this way: if you would not be a strong candidate RD, then you won’t be one ED either.
On the other hand, when all RD applications are in, there will simply be too many strong applicants to accept them all, so some (many, actually) simply have to be rejected. Some of those applicants who will be rejected RD might well have been accepted had they applied ED, because Tufts knows that it is getting pretty much a 100% yield on ED acceptances.</p>
