<p>As a student interested in international relations and a consummate intellectual environment, I’m very interested in both Georgetown and Yale. If the opportunity were available, I’d undoubtedly apply EA to both - but given Yale’s SCEA policy, I’m very conflicted.</p>
<p>I know that it would certainly be easier to get in RD at Georgetown SFS than at Yale - but I’m wondering whether it would make more sense to use my EA card on my decidedly less likely Yale application or on the security of a potential early acceptance at Georgetown SFS?</p>
<p>Any words of wisdom?</p>
<p>getting into both is hard, but im sure getting into yale is harder.
try this:
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU’VE JUST GOTTEN INTO BOTH SCHOOLS WITH A FULL SCHOLARSHIP AND COMPLEMENTARY SWEATSHIRT!
where would you go?</p>
<p>its not an answer to your question, but it’s an important thing to keep in mind.
do what will make you happiest. this whole thing is crazy and risky, so just do what you want!</p>
<p>Bump to the highest degree.</p>
<p>Here’s one way to think about who is accepted EA to Y (or any school for that matter): they’re candidates who the college would definitely accept from ANY applicant pool. That gives the school an extra few months to woo those students, as they will likely also be accepted to other selective colleges. After all, why would they pick a borderline student EA when they can just defer them and see who else applies in the RD round and then make a decision.</p>
<p>So, if you feel that your application puts you in the tip top of the EA pool for Y, it may be worth at try, otherwise a more likely early acceptance to GT might be a better strategy.</p>

<p>I agree with entomom on this one. Apply to where you would be much more competitive, which is most likely Georgetown.</p>
<p>Agree with the posters above that if you like them equally, go for the one you’re more likely to get into - Georgetown.</p>
