<p>There is a definite advantage to applying ED. The ED admission rate for the Class of 2016 was 24.1 % vs 12.02% RD. The 25-75% for SATs was 1380-1520 for ED students and 1470-1590 for those admitted RD. (Of course, the RD numbers will be a little lower if you look at students who actually matriculate at Vandy.) The Admission Blog is very helpful and has all this info from past years.</p>
