<p>Given Reed’s early decision acceptance rate of 11% (according to the Insider’s Guide to The Colleges 2007) is any real benefit incurred by applying ED?</p>
<p>Reed’s early decision acceptance rate is not 11%, unless I am mistaken…</p>
<p>For the Fall 2005 entering class:
Number of early decision applications received by your institution: 204 </p>
<p>Number of applicants matriculating under early decision plan: 124 </p>

<p>Update for 2006: 216 applied, 129 matriculated, .:. 60% rate. The ED admitted rate can be higher than this, but isn’t published.</p>
