If you were more interested in Harvard, you would have applied EA there.

<p>You are right, in your reply, that Harvard wouldn't care in any case. Harvard has the yield advantage. But of course now Harvard now longer has an early program, so everyone applies regular action to Harvard beginning with high school class of 2008 (the OP's class?). That's the great unknown for next year: with Harvard and Princeton going to a single-deadline system, students applying to those two colleges may as well apply early action somewhere else, and that means somewhere else is no longer sure which students really like, say, Yale as a first choice and which students are applying early to Yale strategically to maximize chances of admission.</p>
