For a non-hooked applicant, I’d be concerned about the cost/benefit of applying ED2. It certainly demonstrates the applicant’s interest. But by the time ED2 decisions are being made, the school has usually received all the RD applications as well. So the school has had at least an initial look at the RD pool. I started a thread about RD vs ED2 back in February which has some good discussions: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1864983-why-do-colleges-offer-ed2-and-does-it-benefit-the-applicants.html#latest
