<p>Our evidence indicates “yes” - this is an especially competitive group of applicants here on CC.</p>

<p>Entomom kindly posted last year’s SCEA results anlaysis thread. Note that there are two analyses done - first on those posters who volunteered in advance to post results and then on a more generalized group of all posters who posted results. For this latter group:</p>

<p>– general results: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1061559600-post21.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1061559600-post21.html&lt;/a&gt;
– SAT Subject tests: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1061624077-post53.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1061624077-post53.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>SCEA admission rates for CC posters were about twice as high as for the whole SCEA pool. This is true even of the pledgers who were posting before results were announced, whose results are not skewed by the tendency of posters to report only positive results.</p>
