<p>Newzbugg: I applied Princeton ED, and was deferred and eventually rejected. My ED App was quite a bit different than my RD Apps, though. Admittedly, I don't know if it would have made a difference. My essays for the ED App weren't that great and the whole thing was quite sloppily put together. The way you present your application is pretty important, I think. I spent a lot of time ensuring that the presentation aspect of the RD Apps was how I wanted it to be (organization, structure, articulation, quality, emotion, etc). Again, I have no idea if it would have made a difference because, simply put, Princeton is hard to get accepted to! When it comes to the Ivy League, you can never really predict the outcomes of admissions.</p>
