Whoa, everyone...
Let's start putting down the truth instead of rumors.
Unless they eliminated it in the last calendar year, Western U/ COMP has Early Decision. *I* applied, and was accepted, as an early decision candidate at WU.
Maybe we aren't all on the same wavelength regarding what ED is: it's where you choose just ONE, and only one, medical school to apply to. They agree to interview you first (if you're qualified; if not, they won't even let you apply ED), and agree to get back to you -quickly-.
I applied ED (I could be wrong, but I think the minimums were MCAT 29-30 (hell, maybe it was 27), and Minimum GPA of 3.3); I interviewed on Aug. 10?, and received my certified letter of acceptance on Aug 20. (that's pretty damn fast). Thus, I could coast the rest of the year, knowing that I already got into med school.
If you're serious about ED, I'd go to that school's website, or better yet call their admissions departments. Do not rely on the info in this post....
