<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>Junior this year and really having a dilemma choosing where I'll SCEA. I know it'll be either Princeton or Yale. I really like Yale; when I visited the campus it felt and looked awesome. The only fear I have is the 14% SCEA admissions rate. Some of my friends, who are very smart and got 2300+ on the SAT, were deferred and one was even rejected! </p>
<p>Princeton, though it didn't pop as much as Yale did, felt very nice and relaxed. It has Woody Woo which I am in love with and is much closer to home. It also has a 18% SCEA rate, which is markedly higher.</p>
<p>Both of these schools are awesome, but I am stuck! Yale is so good, but I feel like I'll be wasting my SCEA there with such a paltry chance of getting in. But with Princeton, I get a better chance in theory but it doesn't feel as right.</p>
<p>Thanks for all your help! My stats are as follows: </p>
<p>Stats:
-GPA:4.361 (W)<-Prob. highest/2nd highest in class. Doesn't include 11th grade
-PSAT: 223 (CR:80 M:73 W:70) (should be NMSF)
