<p>“So, silverturtle, it’s a bit offending when you assume that those who did not learn English as a first language are inept at ‘articulating.’”</p>
<p>I never made such an offensive claim. You misinterpreted and unduly generalized my statement.</p>
<p>I was trying to figure out whether the incorrect syntax (“Why should Stanford choose those who don’t to be their as their a top choice”) was just a typographical error or the poster’s not being completely natural with the language yet. I didn’t mean to offend.</p>
<p>Back on topic: the OP asked about applying early or not. Everyone knows that schools like Stanford look at both academic and subjective factors; I don’t know why a debate about this was started. If the OP’s goal is to get accepted, then he or she should retake the tests until the last date or until he or she feels the scores cannot get higher. Stanford super-scores test results.</p>
<p>If, however, the OP’s goal is to potentially find out early if it it means that he or she risks getting a rejection SCEA that may have been an acceptance RD, then go ahead and apply early.</p>
