<p>As a SCEA reject, I find myself wondering how things would have turned out if I had just applied RD.</p>
<p>@l337toast, I was rejected early action, but I don’t think my app was necessarily “definitely weaker.” So far, Stanford has been my only rejection out of 11 schools (including tough ones like UChicago, Northwestern, and Carnegie Mellon), and the trend is making me wish I had applied regular. Of course, Stanford’s acceptance rate is quite a bit lower than all of these schools, but I’m starting to feel superstitious. Who knows.</p>
