Why are you having a PhD student write your letter? Can the professor who you worked with write the letter instead?

Your stats look fine. But getting into Yale SCEA is very very difficult. Your Northwestern legacy is nothing to sneeze at, and would almost certainly result in an acceptance in the early round. But as you know, during RD, the legacy benefit is minimized.

What would you do if you got rejected/deferred from Yale, and then during the RD round also rejected by Northwestern? Would you be okay with that?
