Is ED acceptance rate really mucher higher?

<p>As Scoutmom wrote - the CDS is the best source for admissions rates. I have looked through several years worth of data and the ED acceptance rate is always over 80%. The admissions rep for our area also told us that statistic when we met him. Finally, the New York Times does a chart in the fall with various colleges and how their applications compare year over year and their admissions rates and you can see many colleges and their ED rates there as well.</p>
