Four points: 1) you are attending, not your parents, decide your first choice for yourself; 2) as noted above, make sure you have a good well-balanced list; 3) don’t overestimate the legacy bump; 4) if you do feel like you have the application that might warrant a Harvard admission and you are gaming out your SCEA/ED strategy, keep in mind that Tufts has an ED II. If you (deciding for yourself) want to SCEA to Harvard, the dates may work out such that you can SCEA to Harvard and then ED II to Tufts if you don’t make it. Just make sure you have a good regular decision list and recognize that you will have used your early shots on schools to which you are unlikely to be admitted just looking at the rates of admission.
