Will the SCEA accepted withdraw from other colleges

T26E4, I am not sure whether Yale does have as clear idea about how many applicants of those accepted early will commit because of the reinstated Harvard and Princeton SCEA’s. At least to me, it seems as though this year the early applicant pool should yield more committed students because the ones who applied truly want to go and are not Princeton or Harvard hopefuls impatient to get into at least one good school early.

If I were accepted, I would not withdraw my other applications because financial aid is a matter and I would need to see what the other schools would offer me. And yes, I do know Yale is really generous. However, if that’s not an issue - I think trophy hunting should be given no priority. I would withdraw and open up some space for a mate who does want to go to a school I am sure I am not going to go to. :)
