<p>getting into Yale EA is pretty much like winning a lottery since everyone is essentially the same. not sure if its true, but from these past forums i’ve seen that most EA at Yale is for those who have connections, are athletes and those that significantly stand out either through their hooks or essays. I would say, think about another great school thats slighly less competitve than Yale during EA. Maybe georgetown, chicago, MIT or Stanford? I think if you applied regular, you would get accepted and stand a better chance.</p>
