@RoundGenius: Yale does NOT require students accepted in the SCEA round to tell them of their decision until May 1, 2017 – after they hear back from all their other RD or private schools. So, yes students can apply RD to as many colleges as they want while applying to Yale SCEA.

Keep in mind though, Yale defers and rejects MORE students in the SCEA round than they admit. In fact, last year, 83% of SCEA applicants were NOT accepted: http://news.yale.edu/2015/12/15/795-early-action-applicants-admitted-class-2020

Fifty-three percent of the applicants were deferred for reconsideration in the spring, and 29% were denied admission; 1% of the applications received were withdrawn or incomplete.
