Where will EA be most benificial?

Applying to College
1

<p>I am a top student in Southern California, and I think I have a chance to get into some top universities. I am planning on applying early action, but I want to make sure that the advantage this gives me (if it gives any advantage) is maximized. </p>

<p>I am going to either apply to Yale or Stanford EA, can anyone give me concrete evidence of one being better than the other? I have heard rumors that Yale uses the EA applications to fill the sports teams, but some statistical data would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks,
–Dan</p>

<p>The main difference between applying EA to Y & S is that S defers relatively few applicants, preferring to accept or deny; while Y defers about half of the early candidates. </p>

<p>All schools use early admissions to get recruited athletes.</p>

<p>While EA stats are available on the CDS, they don’t include data broken out for deferrals, athletes, etc.</p>
