<p>I bumped the 2008, 2009 and 2010 EA admission stats to the top. Based on earlier analysis by me, if approximately one half (a guess) of the EA applicants who are deferred to regular decision end up getting accepted eventually, then I would estimate that the odds of an EA applicant getting accepted are about 3 times better (approximately 50% vs. 17%) than one who only applies regular decision. Given that the EA stats are not that much higher than the overall admission stats, if your numbers are there, you should seriously consider EA to increase your odds of acceptance. The downside, of course, being an out right rejection in the EA process.</p>
