I don’t remember the exact percentages, but we asked this question when visiting Wash U for Art & Architecture Day last June. The difference was significant enough that my daughter decided to apply ED 1 (she also had no doubts that Wash U was her #1 choice… in fact, she had no second choice, just fallback schools.) Anyways, I think it was something like 20% acceptance for ED, vs. less than 10% for RD. But again, don’t trust these percentages… It’s like when you look at your watch to see what time it is, then someone asks you, ‘what time is it?’ and all you know is that you’re not late. What I know for sure, there is a much better chance of being accepted ED.
