<p>BlueBayou:
Indeed, yes, the Early applicant pool is different. Supposedly even the “unhooked” applicants tend to be more qualified on average than in the RD pool. Hence the admission rates can be misleading: higher rates do not equate with better chances.</p>
<p>Still, you get a sense that an RD applicant has “missed the party” at a school like Penn, where almost half of its slots are already taken up by early offers.</p>
