<p>Well, this is normally great advice.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, today is the deadline for Early Action, so it’s a bit late… and might discourage some RD applicants.</p>
<p>Honestly, though, we don’t know how the admissions office is going to admit this year. Last year, as Nondorf’s first year, might be seen as a trial run. EA admit rate will almost certainly be higher than RD, as it is at every other elite institution, but we don’t know how much higher… the gap might close significantly this year (I would expect that it’ll close slightly - maybe ~20% EA, ~10% RD; last year was 28% EA, 11% RD).</p>
