<p>I have a couple of questions that I didn’t feel should go in my chances thread.</p>
<p>How much does applying EA help? (I am applying EA to UIUC and Princeton).
Does it help being the daughter of immigrants? (European immigrants. I am Caucasian.)</p>
<p>For UIUC, applying by the priority date creates “some” (UIUC’s words) advantage but very little if any at all if applying for business or engineering. For Princeton, applying EA appears to give you a higher probability than regular admission of being admitted if you have rank/test scores that are as high as or better than Princeton’s usually high.average. Being the child of European immigrants creates no advantage.</p>
