<p>I understand that there is no certain advantage in doing EA but according to the Insider's Guide to College guide the EA acceptance rate is 8% while the RD is 21%... if there was no advantage why aren't the rates both 21%?</p>
<p>the guide must be wrong, gtown ea is around 19-20% and same for RD</p>
<p>EA is 18 not 8 lol.</p>
<p>besides, think of the people who applied EA & were deferred but accepted later. if you include their acceptance in the EA pool, rather than regular, the EA rate would be higher i’d assume.</p>
