<p>^ I’d say yes due to SCEA at Harvard and Princeton and if students from the east coast wanted to apply to other schools EA or ED (Columbia, Cornell, MIT etc.). Everyone in California want to go to Stanford, a very small amount from the east coast do. According to the College Board nearly 9.4% of the scores sent in California are sent to Stanford (thats over 16,000). Where in CT the Ivy (or equivalent) with the most scores sent is Yale with a measly 1,190 and Stanford doesn’t even make the list of top 45 colleges applied to. This is similar to other states on the east coast.</p>
