Agree with SJ2727 that ED can really help if used correctly. Our DD was just accepted ED to an Ivy while no unhooked applicants from her high school with similar GPA/ACT (34) have been accepted there via RD in the last several years.

Applying ED is also the only way to benefit from legacy status at many schools.

So although ED is not for appropriate for many applicants-- particularly those who must compare financial aid/merit aid – it does provide a real boost when used in the appropriate situation.
