<p>White male, good public school in CT</p>

<p>I plan on applying to Harvard EA, UNC Chapel Hill EA Uconn EA, and RD to BU, Brown, GW, Georgetown, MIT, Penn, Princeton, Tufts, Wesleyan, Yale</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance, but why not apply EA?
You can apply to MIT, UNC, and UConn for EA (you can’t apply to UNC under Harvard’s SCEA policy).</p>

<p>It’s always best to apply to as many schools as possible during the EA round; you’ll be among the first students to be considered.</p>

<p>You can apply to Georgetown EA as well (without doing Harvard.) That’s a total of 4 decisions in December.</p>

<p>Actually, Harvard’s policy, if you look at the Q&A on their website has been clarified, you may apply early action to any public school you wish. [Harvard</a> College Admissions § Applying: Early Action](<a href=“http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/application_process/early.html]Harvard”>http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/application_process/early.html)</p>

<p>And I have thought about that, however, Harvard is my first choice, (MIT is #2)</p>

<p>Oh, I wasn’t aware of the change.
Well, good luck because you’re a strong candidate.</p>
