The odds of anyone getting into Yale EA are pretty slim, at best. The odds of Yale revealing their admissions decision when you think they’re going to are also slim at best.

Sure, $70 is a lot of money, but given the total costs of applying for college, visiting colleges, paying college tuition, it’s relatively not that much of an amount.

You took the time and made the effort to make a beautiful hardcopy paper application to Stanford. So why on earth would you want to risk not getting it mailed in on time, simply because you’re holding out for a longshot Yale EA admit, thus saving you $70?

Want my honest advice? Smile and mail in the Stanford application tomorrow with the $70. If you get into Yale EA, you’ll be so happy you won’t care. If you don’t get into Yale EA, you’ll be relieved to know that your Stanford application already got mailed in on time.

Just my 7,000 cents.
