<p>I'm considering applying EA to Stanford and was wondering, from what you've seen so far, does Stanford tend to aggressively recruit athletes/lefacies/URMs in EA , more so than in RD? I've heard that Harvard, for example, keeps its EA spots for these students and defers most unhooked academic high achievers to consider them in RD.</p>
<p>i’m gonna bump this thread</p>
<p>done</p>
<p>legacies have to apply ea to get special consideration so a lot of them do but thats the only difference really</p>
<p>I would also say that if an athlete is a top recruit, they are probably pushed by the coach to apply early if Stanford is their top choice as well…</p>
