Bad GPA...should I EA/ED at all?

[decrescendo]

<p>

it’s true that stanford SCEA is more difficult than stanford RD. not only that, few people get deferred 9it’s usually acceptance or rejection)

<p>Generally true, but that shouldn’t deter one from applying to Stanford SCEA if it’s their true first choice. If you would’ve been able to get in RD, you’ll almost certainly get in SCEA or get deferred, although there will be a small handful that prove an exception to that rule. Seriously, though; if Stanford’s your number 1, you’d best apply EA since it’s non-binding.</p>
