@hptd12 ED acceptance rate for an unhooked applicant is unlikely to be >20%. Again, you are not including all the other hooked candidates (beyond athletes, who absolutely do know if they have a tip, or only soft support or no support ‘you can be on the team if you get in on your own’) that also go thru ED (QB, WOW, URMs, legacy, donors).

We don’t have percentages for all of those groups by round of admission, but URMs are easily 25%+ of the acceptances in both rounds (again, just QB and WOW acceptances were 32.5% of the total for class of 2023 and most of those are URM). Another 10% of class of 2023 was international students, further decreasing available spots for unhooked candidates.
