Unless you have a hook, I believe it is not worth it. My younger son did SCEA at Harvard. He had the necessary stats, grades, ECs plus an older brother there, but no hook. He had a 1 in 5 shot to get in SCEA, but no dice. He was deferred and then rejected RD.
Thankfully Yale was a lot smarter than Harvard and took him during Regular Decision.
