Hi everyone! I'm considering applying to the University of Miami through their ED2 option. Does anyone know if the ED2 acceptance rate is similar to the ED1 rate, or is it much lower? Any information helps! Thank you!
Hello! While specific statistics for ED1 vs ED2 acceptance rates at the University of Miami might not be publicly available, applying through either ED option generally gives you a boost in your chances of admission compared to Regular Decision. Schools typically accept a higher percentage of students in the Early Decision rounds, as these applicants are demonstrating strong interest in attending the university, and these admits help improve the school's yield percentage.
Though there might be some difference in acceptance rates between ED1 and ED2, it's reasonable to expect that the ED2 acceptance rate would still be somewhat higher than that for Regular Decision, just as it is for ED1. Remember that applying Early Decision is a binding agreement, so only apply ED2 if you are certain that the University of Miami is your top choice and you are prepared to commit.
Ultimately, it's important to focus on submitting a strong application that highlights your accomplishments and interests, regardless of the application round. Good luck with your application!
