hey do you know how many people MIT accept for under its EA policy?

I think last year it was 438. EA is harder than RD. MIT is pretty much the only school where that happens

Even if it is "harder," which I'm not exactly sure what you mean, if you want to get in to MIT, by all means apply Early Action. We've argued about this before, but it really does give you a better chance at getting in.

I should have been more clear. Yes, apply early. In the end it will help you. The EA acceptance rate is lower than the RD rate, and it has been said that the applicant pool is stronger EA (again, just what has been said). However, if you don't get in EA you'll get deferred, which gives you another chance.
