<p>I'm a senior interested in Yale. In terms of qualifications, I think I'd be borderline accept-waitlist, but that's just my opinion. I wasn't able to finish up my common app by the EA deadline, but a number (5-ish) of other qualified kids did apply. Is it a smart idea for me to still apply RD, or will my lateness (and the probability that at least one of the EA kids will get accepted) make my chance of acceptance to slim?</p>
<p>I'm thinking the same with me for next year. I was reading that RD is like 4% and then i realized that probably all the deferred kids will get those spaces. </p>
<p>But you never know if you don't try. It's always worth the shot! Go for it :)</p>
