<p>So applying SCEA would never “hurt” you? I’m even more confused as to which pool is better for me now. I mean, if your application comes up after 10 sucky ones, wouldn’t they more likely to pick you, since they can’t just reject 11 people in a row. I don’t know if this made sense to you.</p>
<p>I mean, how do they sort through all the applications? If they are on the 3000th of the 4000 applications, do they save 1/4 of the spots in the back of their minds, holding out for the last 100 applicants? I mean, do they ever remove a person from the acceptance pile if they find somebody better on the 4000th application? How do they do this?</p>
