I'm thinking about applying ED2 to Davidson College and I'm curious about the acceptance rate for this round. Is it significantly higher than the regular decision? It would help me decide if I should go for it.
Davidson College, like many other institutions, doesn't officially disclose separate acceptance rates for its Early Decision II (ED2) round. However, it's generally observed that acceptance rates in ED rounds tend to be higher than in Regular Decision (RD) rounds. That's because colleges appreciate the commitment demonstrated by ED applicants, and for schools like Davidson, Early Decision candidates form a substantial part of their incoming class.
It's also crucial to remember that the applicant pool in ED rounds is often filled with highly motivated and academically talented students, so the competition is still very intense.
Ultimately, you should consider applying ED2 if Davidson is your top choice, you've done plenty of research into the school, are comfortable with the binding agreement, and have considered financial factors carefully. Good luck with your application!
