Huge disadvantage doing RD instead of EA?

scott j those stats make no sense, the entire incoming freshman class is made up of 2200 students there are about 9,000 undergrads total. they have not released the number of those accepted EA, just how many applied (7000)

the freshman class is not made up of 7200 people, there are 9000 undergrads total…

lil wayne think of it this way, if everyone applying EA has typical stats around (completely random #'s) 2200 SAT’s, 4.0 GPA, excellent EC’s, etc, it is much harder for the average applicant to get in because everyone’s stats are so high. even if the acceptance rate is higher, the competition is harder so it is more likely you are not at the top of the applicant pool. in RD people have lower stats, so youre more likely to be towards the top of the applicant pool.
