I’m not so sure. The admissions counselor I interviewed with basically said it was not a big factor. In his words “ED would not push a RD reject into an acceptance.” Carnegie’s ED admit rate is 21%. Their total admit rate is 33%. So statistically, applying ED gives you less of a chance of getting in. http://www.cmu.edu/ira/CDS/pdf/cds_2010_11/c_firstyear_admission.pdf
