<p>^ The same can be said about Harvard: they would play the yield game for students who have already been accepted REA to Stanford.</p>
<p>Of course, students who have been accepted early to a school of that caliber generally condition themselves to going to that school rather than contnuing to stress out like many of their peers, and adcoms are very much aware of this fact.</p>
<p>Would an SCEA from CT have a higher chance than an SCEA from CA?</p>
<p>^ I’d say yes due to SCEA at Harvard and Princeton and if students from the east coast wanted to apply to other schools EA or ED (Columbia, Cornell, MIT etc.). Everyone in California want to go to Stanford, a very small amount from the east coast do. According to the College Board nearly 9.4% of the scores sent in California are sent to Stanford (thats over 16,000). Where in CT the Ivy (or equivalent) with the most scores sent is Yale with a measly 1,190 and Stanford doesn’t even make the list of top 45 colleges applied to. This is similar to other states on the east coast.</p>

<p>I doubt these statistics would exist in the public domain, but would you say California has the lowest admission rate of any state for Stanford?</p>
