I would say no. Like the people above me said, it’s wonderful if you get accepted, but because it’s Yale, the likelihood is very slim. I applied SCEA and got deferred, so I’m still stuck in Limbo. Yale was kind of a what the hell school, even though i do have a good shot. In hindsight, I probably would have applied EA to more schools (Chicago, MIT, etc.) or even ED to Rice. But now it’s too late and I’m stuck waiting. But I feel like it’s all super personal. You’ll know what you should do. 91shippy brought up some great points about using it to access any problems with your app, and it is nice to have that thought out of your head by December. But being deferred kinda sucks. If you have any more questions or just want to chat about it PM me.
