<p>What do you think the admit rate will be?</p>
<p>Last time SCEA was active it was 29%. </p>
<p>My guess is admit rate will be ~20%</p>
<p>That sounds reasonable.</p>
<p>I think last time they had ED which is quite different. admit rate for ED would be higher than SCEA.</p>
<p>yea I know that so I factored it in. Yale is 14% SCEA and princeton is a little easier so ~20% seems good.</p>
<p>Also I heard applying SCEA does not statistically increase your chances so what is the point?

<p>You get to find out in Dec, so save yourself worry, and don’t have to apply to as many schools because you already have one in the bank (save money).</p>
<p>You are right that at Yale (and probably P and H in the future) it does not increase your chances…</p>
<p>I would expect all 3 admit rates to be very similar, probably staying at around 15%.</p>
<p>Btw, Class of 2016 Princeton Supplement is up on Princeton website – looks to be identical except for deadlines to last year’s.</p>

thanks for that confirmation! I read it and was like, “hold on… I’ve seen Cornel West somewhere…”</p>
<p>Is it worth the EA or is it too risky?</p>
<p>If it’s important to you to have an early acceptance somewhere, Princeton EA would not be the way to go. It’s not a sure thing for anyone.</p>
