ED vs. RD?

[hotasice]

<p>

This is a bit off topic, but hypothetically speaking, if I were to apply ED, would it be a good idea to apply ONLY to it (whilst having all RD applications ready), and if I were to be rejected/deferred, THEN send in all the RD applications?

<p>Um, that’s what usually happens. You hear back from ED on December 15, typically, and RD deadlines aren’t until January 1 or 15.</p>
