<p>^ The difference in ED acceptance rates will be minimal–a point or two either way. That shouldn’t be a determinative factor for you. Instead, apply to the school with the curriculum and academic opportunities that most inspire and excite you, so that your application and essays can reflect that inspiration and excitement. You’ll enhance your prospects much more by doing that, than you would by merely picking a school because its ED acceptance rate this particular year may be a point or two higher than that of another school. At this level of selectivity, a point or two difference in acceptance rates is really meaningless. :)</p>
