<p>oh and one more thing. You want to study IR, then Tufts is a great place for that. But I'm surprised to see that Georgetown isn't on your list, since they have the School of Foreign Service, the top IR program in America.</p>
<p>Though Georgetown did lose points with me for other reasons, like homogeneousness and distance from home, so I can't blame you if you're not considering it.</p>
<p>ED II is "Early Decision, round 2." My understanding is that there's a smaller number of applicants to ED 2 compared to ED 1 but the acceptance rates are the same.</p>
<p>This thread suggests that the percentage of the class entering ED in 2004 was 42%, but it looks like that figure is 32% for the class entering in 2005. Did the percentage enrolled who were ED really go down that much in a year?</p>
