Is applying ED/EA extremely competitive for selective schools?

EA is a different creature, but as far as ED goes, here are the guidelines I recommend. Take them with a grain of salt.

Only apply ED if all of the following are true:


You really, really want to go somewhere.
You are certain that the school is a good “fit.”
You have a reasonable chance of being admitted.
You can afford to attend the school (for all four, five or six years).


As always, YMMV.
