I’d have guessed that, having survived the EA round, your chances would be greater! (Maybe my statistical understanding is faulty somehow?)



Then my understanding may be faulty, too. Maybe the fact that the schools get so many more applications in the RD round means your chances are lower. But certainly, if stats are equal, they’d pick the ED or EA applicant, as it should help their yield. I’m sure they track the TYPE of applicant (ie: ED, EA, RD)
