<p>What school do you like most? There is no way that someone can tell you what school you should apply to or will have a “better” shot at. Your scores are within the right range and your grades are really good. I’d say to apply to wherever you want to; you’re bound to get in to one by March 29th, 2013. Good luck! One more thing, you need a “big bang,” something that will make A.O’s drool over you.</p>

<p>What would be a “big bang?”</p>

<p>“Your mother” he said jokingly</p>

<p>Seriously though you look really solid, and I don’t think you’ll need to be superhuman in one area. If you really have no preference for the schools, I’d choose princeton . The rates for Harvard and Yale are both lower, and Stanford seems to straight up reject SCEA applicants more, as opposed to the ivies which seem to defer more.</p>

<p>Is there anywhere where I can find the early action acceptance rate for these schools for the class of 2017?</p>

<p>harvard - high accept rate early</p>

<p>Big bang as in a great extra-curricular activity.
Here’s a link to the early acceptance rate stats for the Ivies:

<p>It looks like Harvard’s SCEA admit rate is pretty high, actually. For Harvard, at least.</p>
