<p>I was mostly responding to some really misguided advice students were giving each other that some EA applicants should change their application to RD by contacting the admissions office.</p>
<p>There were enough threads on this issue last few months, I assume anyone who bothered to do some research got all the input they need and got their EA application ready in time.</p>
<p>Even if the acceptance gap closes between EA and RD, I still assume that the EA acceptance rate will be considerably higher. Your numbers (20% vs. 10%) still show a very significant advantage, even if we assume that the EA pool is a bit stronger (which is still not verified yet).</p>
