<p>^ I’m not sure I agree with the fact the EA pool has more qualified students. Now granted my son was accepted EA… but still. I think it may also have to do with the fact that by applying EA you are showing GT that you really are interested in attending. Therefore they may pick more people in EA based on that fact alone. Think about it. If you have 2 similar applicants: one hustled and got all the information in to them by October 15th and the other took their sweet time and applied by December 15th which one would YOU choose?</p>
