<p>so nervous.</p>
<p>Yep, I got that long letter from Yale, CPU.</p>
<p>I don’t understand why they advertise. It’s not like they don’t already have an insane amount of people that apply every year…</p>
<p>Yeah, but I was always iffy about Yale. A lot of people are, and maybe they’re the kinds of students Yale might be looking for. </p>
<p>I’m going to apply SCEA.</p>
<p>What?! And not at Smith?</p>
<p>Nah. I think I have a good chance at getting in RD to smith (and if the Smith Gods are watching, I meant that in the most non conceited way.)</p>
<p>I don’t wanna limit my financial options, and I might change my mind about Smith later on. I don’t want to be bound.
These are my two application options:</p>
<p>EA/scholarship deadline:
MIT
UMass
NEU
UCONN
BU</p>
<p>EE/RD:
Smith
Cornell
Wellesley
Yale</p>
<p>OR:</p>
<p>SCEA:
Yale</p>
<p>EA/scholarship deadline:
UCONN
UMass
BU</p>
<p>RD:
NEU
Wellesley
Cornell
Smith
MIT</p>
<p>Still will be applying to 5 early and 4 regularly. Or vice versa. </p>
<p>Not sure which I wanna do.</p>
<p>I dont get it. How do you apply SCEA and EA?</p>
<p>If you’re a Single-Choice Early Action applicant to Yale, you may only apply to another institution’s early admission program as follows:</p>
<p>You may apply to any public university’s “rolling” admission program, but only if the decision is non-binding, meaning that you have until May 1 to respond.This exception does not apply to private institutions’ rolling admissions programs.
You may apply to a public institution in your home state, even if you will receive an admission decision prior to January 1, but only if the decision is non-binding, meaning that you have until May 1 to respond. This exception does not apply to private institutions.
You may apply to a college with an early deadline for scholarship awards, but only if the notification of admission occurs after January 1.
You may apply to another college’s “Round 2 Early Decision” program, but only if the notification of admission occurs after January 1. If you are admitted through another college’s “Round 2 Early Decision” binding program, you must then withdraw your application from Yale.</p>
<p>That’s a lot of info. I should probably start figuring out how this whole Early Action thing will work out for my schools. I wanna do Harvard SCEA and MIT if I get the chance.</p>
<p>What’s Harvard’s SCEA like?</p>
<p>You can’t do harvard and MIT EA. you can only do SCEA and public school EAs. And a private school if you’re applying for a scholarship. </p>
<p>Check their site.</p>
<p>Im perusing the site now, but for some reason, Im having difficulty finding the exact policy</p>
<p>guys!!!

<p>haha this thread now has 50,131 views :D</p>
<p>I hope you all get accepted :D:D</p>
<p>Google “harvard SCEA rules”</p>
<p>^Google answers everything ;)</p>
<p>Well, I guess the rules haven’t been specifically posted on the website yet. Though the may be the same as those in 2006. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to figure my EA plans later</p>
<p>Hmm, anyone know what kind of letter/box/container the acceptance/rejection/waitlist comes in the mail? I want to know sorta what to accept. :S</p>
<p>Rejection/Waitlist --Regular sized envelope.</p>
<p>Acceptance --Relatively thick 9 by 12 envelope, since there are more papers/ forms to fill out if you get in</p>
<p>Bleh. I hate how you can tell by the envelope :(</p>
<p>Anyways, yeah. HP just put back SCEA and they might change the rules.</p>
<p>You’ll know if you don’t get in, but a small envelope can mean a waitlist, too, so it’s not all bad.</p>
<p>I’d rather be accepted/rejected. </p>
<p>After I know my decision, I have to plan my summer. I can’t wait around for a waitlist.</p>
