Best thing in the world if accepted.

but

I shudder to think of the acceptance rate for: non legacy, non athlete, non international research, etc etc…

Basically, if you get accepted EA you would have got accepted RD, so unless you are pretty confident, maybe use the EA apps to some schools that do take into account demonstrated interest. This of course coming from someone who did not heed his own advice.

I just went with how I felt in october - if I felt good; Yale. If not, I was going to do dartmouth and some other places for EA.
