I think the acceptance numbers vary by college. Also, I heard that if you apply ED, that it is very hard to get financial aid. If you apply regular decision, you have a little better chance of getting financial aid. However, I read that merit aid is hard to get at CMU. After having gone through the admissions process with my son, I don’t like early decision unless you are 100% sure this is your first choice school no matter what.
