I haven’t really found much on this topic for NYU. I’m wondering if there is an advantage to applying ED II to NYU over regular decision. The acceptance rates are pretty much identical and an NYU alum told me that there really isn’t any difference or advantage ed II gives over regular.

I would be very happy with going to NYU and if ED II does give an advantage over regular, I would gladly apply ED II, but at the moment, if ED II and regular are pretty much identical or only marginally different, I much rather take the regular route.
