Is applying ED/EA extremely competitive for selective schools?

If I jump into a pool of Olympic swimmers, most of the swimmers will get picked to swim in the Olympics. But my chance of getting picked is not any higher.

Makes Perfect sense!! IF a particular school is your top top choice, go ahead and apply ED - but that still does not change the equation from the other side - you still have to “qualify”
