My personal experience having gone through the rodeo with one kid already is that if a college offers ED (1 or 2) AND you know for a fact that it is (1) AFFORDABLE and (2) your kid’s first choice then go for it. Yield is definitely the highest.
Next best is EA. In fact, it is becoming more and more common for colleges to accept most of their students through EA. Here in NC, most competitive colleges end up getting the bulk of their students through those two mechanisms.
