Wouldn’t that then mean that it’s even harder to get in RD? Like many schools these days, Smith admits roughly 50% of its class in ED. So the acceptance rate would then be lower than 19% for the RD applications. That doesn’t put it into reach territory? I’m not saying that OP’s daughter won’t get in, just that (as I understand) the general wisdom is anything below a 25-30% acceptance rate is typically considered a reach school.
