This would have had the biggest impact in application numbers within the first few years. H&P’s discontinuation of ED just doesn’t play much of an impact now. Also, the applicant that would have applied to Harvard/Princeton ED could also apply to other top schools EA like UChicago, MIT, or CalTech.</p>

<p>I was referring to nolagirl’s post, not Harvard and Princeton’s discontinuation of early programs.</p>

My mistake.

<p>I’d like to say that I’m a confident individual, but the application process has made me quite uncomfortable with all the uncertainties and grey areas. But I feel much better now after I’ve seen this year’s applicant pool size. I’d like to believe this increases my chances, however little the increase may be.
Optimism,people!!</p>

66

<p>

</p>

<p>Lol, we’re competing with 4 fewer kids than last year. HUGE boost to our chance.</p>

67

<p>Pretty much what I expected.</p>

68

<p>The consistency between this year and last is pretty amazing</p>

69

<p>^^^ I guess it’s a boost to our chances that Yale didn’t follow the trend and have an increase in applicants? Cup half full, man.</p>

70

<p>I just heard Yale MUST have more applicants from my region and assumming they have quotas (which I really believe exists, even though they deny it, perhaps subconcious quotas?), I will have a harder time getting in.
Whatever. Who knows? Perhaps they will have a slight increase in acceptance rate to make them seem like a more attractive choice for applicants next year.</p>

71

<p>

</p>

<p>They can’t take too many early either, though. I think it would turn away more future applicants if they saw the RD rate drop lower and lower down the 5%.</p>

72

<p>Does applying early have any real benefit, then?</p>

73

<p>for those who get accepted or rejected, yes…</p>

74

<p>@ccuser18: I must say you have toned down much of my optimism…but perhaps that’s a good thing ;)</p>

75

<p>

You get to know the result earlier. That’s the only benefit. They only take those individuals Early whom they would have taken in RD anyway. It’s not like ED where it does boost your chances due to the binding agreement.</p>

76

<p>On the other hand, at Yale it won’t hurt you; Yale has high deferral rate (around 40-50%). At Stanford, they prefer to accept or reject students in the early round, which means that if you can be any stronger in January vs. November, you are hurting your chances by applying early.</p>

77

<p>What kinds of students typically get rejected?</p>

78

<p>^kids with <2100 and no ec’s. awful applicants, really.</p>

79

<p>Are there a lot of kids like that who apply? About 1000-2000 kids get outright rejected during the early round, right?</p>

80

<p>For those of you Yale applicants,
I know SAT and GPA alone will not get you in. </p>

<p>But to guess where you stand .</p>

<p>There are only approx 4000+ SAT applicants with 2300+ scores ( sat data); Equal amount in ACT??
MIT, UChicago, Stanford, UPenn, Yale , Dartmouth, Rice kind of get say approximately 20000 applications for EA, restrictive EA and ED.
Provided you have stellar ECS, this should give you an idea (Assumption: all the good scorers apply early)</p>
