SCEA does not "advantage the advantaged" in a significant way. Unlike binding ED, which eliminates the succesful applicant's opportunity to compare financial aid packages, EA, including SCEA, is not binding. Yale SCEA applicants are free to apply concurrently to schools with rolling admissions (generally large publics). Moreover, they are at complete liberty to apply to any and all schools RD and compare and re-negotiate financial aid packages before making a commitment.
