<p>pluee00- I guess ED is the way to go! I saw an article (NYT or W. Post) that ranked top Universities in order of “best ED differential” (e.g. huge boost to go ED). W&M was 3rd best! However, I also heard ED acceptance % can be misleading as recruited athletes and other hooked applicants (like legacy!! yea!) make-up a huge proportion of the ED pool.</p>
<p>Rank ED acceptance % RD acceptance % Difference
Lehigh 65% 30% 34%
Johns Hopkins 50% 25% 25%
W&M 53% 32% 22%
Cornell 37% 17% 20%
Notre Dame 42% 23% 19%</p>
