<p>My D got into yale EA and she dropped her application to all the other schools including Harvard and princeton. Yale is her #1 choice. Meanwhile she is happy that she will no longer burden admission officers from other schools. I strongly think yale EA should be for students who really want to go and once admitted they will go. Whenever I see these bright kids who love yale dearly got defferred but others who got in are still not sure, I feel pain. With so many kids applying to top scholls these days. Shopping around should be limited to the least.</p>
