<p>Hey just wondering if it would be better to apply to stanford SCEA even though its only a reach school. Would the strong applicant pool of the ED lower my chances of getting accepted even though supposedly there is a higher chance of acceptance when you apply early. Should i just wait for Regular decision? Thanks</p>
<p>I believe that there is a higher chance of acceptance during RD. I have heard that there is rigorous competition when applying EA.</p>
<p>This has been discussed a million times. There's a topic for it on the first page:</p>
