More difficult to get in EA than RD?

I think it’s about the same. Maybe more qualified applicants percentagewise, but a slightly higher admission rate, too. Remember, the RD pool probably has a few thousand applicants who applied early at Yale, Stanford, or Brown and got deferred, and they are likely to look as good or better than the EA applicant pool on paper.
