How much does applying SCEA to Stanford affect the chances of a reach applicant?

<p>Wow. I never thought this thread would get 103 responses! Anyway, this is the original poster here, and if anyone’s wondering, I’ve decided to apply regular decision. In fact, I’m not applying anywhere early. I compared the acceptance rates, 9% regular to 13% early, and I felt that it wasn’t that big of a leap to sway me permanently. </p>

<p>Stanford is not my top choice anymore but I’m still going to apply. With that, I don’t really have a first choice so I’ll keep it as it is. Everything’s going regular.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the help CC!</p>

<p>PS. itsthemendy, definitely apply. But, I would suggest focusing all your strengths/prep time on one test instead of retaking both the SAT and ACT.</p>
