<p>I've spent the last 8 years of my life committed to training and competing... I've been selective about the ECs I do and now I'm worried that I don't have enough diversity. </p>

<p>I'm deciding between Yale University and Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service for Early Action. Considering I am legacy at Yale and have no preference between Yale and Georgetown, which do you think I should apply early to?</p>

<p>Any feedback would be really helpful, I am totally on my own to try to decide between the two.</p>

<p>Very well-rounded application. I would suggest that you EA to Yale over Georgetown; as competitive as SFS may be, you would be an excellent RD candidate. EAing (over Yale) would be a waste.</p>

<p>Thank you - sooooo helpful to hear another opinion!!!</p>

<p>Solid applicant. Go SCEA at Yale; Georgetown’s good, but with your profile, you could aim at Yale and potentially get in. You’re up there with the best, well, at least the 2400/36 Asians with ECs and awards that make me nauseous.</p>

<p>And by the way, you have diversity.</p>
