im a legacy, grandpa, step grandpa, dad, and sister all went to yale. sister was their number one volleyball recruit though. i got deferred. another legacy from my school was also deferred. i realized its not about the money though. my friend is a huge legacy at penn but didnt have that great of grades but was donating so much money and they deferred him. other legacies at schools like stanford who donate a good amount of money were also deferred. im choosing to believe the theory that we are more inclined to stick around and be interested in the RD pool and therefore schools like Yale are using the EA to get those other super qualified kids from schools like Harvard and Princeton.

but since its EA, people dont have to accept till May 1st?
