@Mwfan1921 so to answer the OP’s original question…using only 72 athletes (more on that in a minute) and again assuming 3/4 go ED, then the idea of a non-athlete’s changes ED at William get even better! The non-athlete ED admit rate would be 201/634=32%. Even if all 72 athletes went ED, the non-athlete ED acceptance rate would be 30%.

The reality is that the number of athletic slots quoted above is for “tips,” not for the actual number of recruits ( and recruits are not told - “you are a tip” or “you are not a tip”). For example, Williams will have at least 20 new football recruits this fall (and all NESCACs will have more than 14): http://www.d3boards.com/index.php?topic=4146.15720
All recruits, regardless of tip status, are strongly encouraged to apply ED or risk their roster spot.
So to be on the safe side, the ED admit rate for non-athletes is in the 23-32% range, far greater than the RD rate, i.e. there is indeed an advantage to applying ED to Williams. Best of luck!
