Have you run the NPC ? Maybe your cost will be less.
Yes many schools like ED. Holy Cross, as an example, has an ED rate multiples of RD.
Depends on the school. If you want to name ….
Most schools don’t have a ton of ED relative to the overall class. Some do but not most.
I think given the issues, more RD spots will open. But that’s overall, not school specific.
Maybe do a chance me. Get a more clean slate of opinions.
A lot of ED though is all about FUUD - an old marketing technique.
Most schools need you more than you need them.
