<p>Could someone please tell me how you managed your application strategy, since Princeton does not have ED? Did you EA or SCEA another University or just apply RD to everyone and hope Princeton came through? Thanks!!</p>
<p>I applied Yale SCEA, then RD HPSM Penn (Wharton) Columbia Duke and Cornell. Accepted at Princeton Wharton Duke and Cornell. In retrospect I would have SCEA’d Stanford or ED’d Wharton (not because I would have gone there, mind you, just to hedge my HP bets) but all turned out for the best!</p>
<p>I applied EA to MIT and Caltech and rolling to Michigan.</p>
<p>So Zafara, do you mean that you can apply ED, get accepted ED and you don’t have to pull your other applications, i.e., Princeton, Harvard?</p>
<p>no, once you’re in somewhere ED, you’re required to pull all your other applications. </p>
<p>as for me, i applied to yale SCEA, and then got deferred early and then rejected. but princeton is much better anyways (:</p>
<p>I applied to Rutgers (my state university), which has rolling admissions, so I got my acceptance in three days. Then Princeton (obviously), Harvard, MIT, Columbia, Barnard, Penn, and McGill RD. I wanted to EA MIT, but I couldn’t because I needed a senior year teacher to give my humanities recommendation due to unfortunate scheduling circumstances in junior year, and I didn’t want her to write my recommendation after less than 2 months of knowing me. In retrospect, however, applying EA to MIT would have increased stress for me, since I ended up being waitlisted there, which implies that I would have been deferred early.</p>
