<p>An excerpt from the conclusion of the Yale SCEA analysis:</p>
<p>If you’re hookless and want to get accepted SCEA to Yale next year, you are going to need outstanding stats (as well as exceptional subjective elements, but that’s not what this analysis is about). The data indicate that only three of the 32 unhooked applicants had SAT 1 scores below 2310. The lowest score of any white or Asian applicant who was accepted was 2270. Furthermore, none of the unhooked applicants were accepted without having at least a 3.90 unweighted GPA. The majority of those accepted early without a hook had a 4.0 GPA and an SAT 1 score of at least 2350. </p>
<p>If you aren’t hooked and don’t have at least a 2200 on the Subject Tests, a 2250+ on the SAT 1, and a 3.90+ GPA, your early admission application might be better spent on schools that are not as competitive.</p>
