<p>I really like T26E4’s answer to the OP on the Yale thread: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/1210881-yale-harvard-scea.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/1210881-yale-harvard-scea.html</a></p>
<p>ask yourself
scenario A: you apply and get acceted SCEA to Yale. Do you still apply to Harvard?
scenario B: you apply and get rejected SCEA to Yale. Do you still apply to Harvard?
scenario C: you apply and get deferred SCEA to Yale. Do you still apply to Harvard?
scenario D: you apply and get acceted SCEA to Harvard. Do you still apply to Yale?
scenario E: you apply and get rejected SCEA to Harvard. Do you still apply to Yale?
scenario F: you apply and get deferred SCEA to Harvard. Do you still apply to Yale?</p>
<h1>If the answer is yes to all of them, then who cares? If there are NOs in your answer then that tells you something.</h1>
<p>BTW: Your high school’s guidance office would probably get black listed by both colleges if they sent in more than one SCEA SSR form – hence many kids think of doing it, but it rarely happens.</p>
