SCEA Stanford, Harvard & Princeton

<p>Hi CC,</p>

<p>So I'm asking on behalf of a friend here in the UK who doesn't have a CC account.</p>

<p>He was wondering where she should apply SCEA. Her top three choices are Harvard, Stanford and Princeton and doesn't have a major preference over any of them (maybe leaning towards Stanford?). A 34 ACT, 800, 740, good essays and recs... the usual but she will not need financial aid which would benefit her in the Stanford admission (I imagine). Which ones have the largest percentage difference between SCEA and RD and does it really make that much of a difference (I heard Stanford is similar ED and RD in terms of acceptances)? </p>

<p>I think the main thing is that she gets accepted into at least one so which is the safest bet (obviously they are all highly competitive but you know what I mean!). Harvard I think has the highest acceptance rate but also the most competitive pool so yeah... </p>
