early decision

[jhrugger]

hi, i was hoping people who have applied early decision can talk a bit about their experience with this. i am interested in applying ED but am wary because if deferred/rejected from this pool, an applicant would be applying very late in the application cycle to other schools.

any thoughts or comments about ED?

thanks

each school is different but i suggest that if u are to apply ED, make sure ur numbers are at or higher than their average. People often make the mistake thinking ED is easier to get into...wrong!

reading ED threads reminds me of DrJ2B and his love for Penn.

Yea....then again...it's pretty competitive to get into UPenn.
