Episode description
Should you apply Early Decision or not? Is there a statistical advantage to applying early or not? When making this decision, it might help to know what the regular decision acceptance rate is for a school and what the Early Decision acceptance rate for a school is and then compare those numbers. That’s the first thing we cover on this episode. After that we discuss:
- Why did they choose the metrics they chose (i.e. why do these numbers matter)?
- What are some of the dangers of interpreting this data
- Who is early decision right for and who is it not right for?
And, of course:
- How can you use this chart practically in when applying to college?
