| I can't decide whether it is worth it to apply early since I couldn't apply anywhere else early action. Any thoughts on who should apply early vs. who shouldn't? | |

| you'llsee...:
- I'm applying early and it is definitely my first choice school (i'll probably enroll); that said, I'm also going to apply to (ranked by preference) Columbia, Harvard, and NYU when/if I get into yale early.
chr100:
- I thinkt hat it makes since to apply early if you think you have STRONG chances of being accepted. That way, even if you aren't accepted, you know you'll still have a good chance of getting accepted to lower level universities (usually those that don't have SCEA) for regular decision | |

| Procrastination, I don't think eating food is suggesting that the early action program gives you a strong chance of acceptance. I think she means that if you think you have a good chance of getting in, then go ahead and apply early. | |

| I'm 99% sure Yale is my top choice. If I get in, I might apply to Harvard and Princeton for fun, but most probably would matriculate at Yale.
Yay Yale! I love it so much.
So how hard will it be to get in early next year? | |

| EA should be around 15-16% acceptance, RD around 5%. General insanity. I think test scores are going to have a bigger impact next year with so much volume. There just isn't going to be as much time per application. | |

| ^ That is insane! I only hope they really look at applications subjectively and our entire profile, as opposed to just test scores. One can only hope. (Sighs) | |

| ^i agree. As more and more people began to apply, schools who traditionally use a holistic method of admissions will probably skew more towards the "numbers" method practiced by large state universities. | |

I'm still deciding whether to apply SCEA. I'm doing a huge college roadtrip starting this weekend (spring break!) and hopefully by the end of it, I'll have a clear EA plan. Right now, it's between SCEA at Yale and EA at MIT/UChicago/Caltech. Either way I'm also applying to UMich rolling.  | |
