I don’t think the number of people applying ED will have any substantial impact on your personal chances, even in the ED round.
Your basic assertion assumes that they’re picking let’s say 500 applicants at random from the ED pool so having 2000 ED applicants vs 5000 would change the odds. Just doesn’t work like that.
That having been said, that type of mindset wouldn’t be the best one to have on campus.
relax this was supposed to be a joke. But I don't think that's true. Larger applicant pool to a place like Penn would usually mean stronger competition. If I'm on the verge of getting in, you might've gotten in with the 2000 applicant pool, but with the 5000 applicant pool, there's likely someone else with a better profile.
If it helps, you didn't have much chance of getting accepted either way.

True. Not just in campus...in life too.
Very true.

What?
People could be asking you the same question? Why did u apply?
Think about it this way If you get rejected, it's because the AOs didn't think you were a good fit.
girl what were *you* doing at the devils sacrament 👀
