<p>^ Pretty much what the title says. I've been doing a lot of research into the advantages of applying EA, and I think I'd like to apply SCEA to Yale. It's my first choice college, and I think I have the stats for it. Could you please take a look at them anyway and let me know what you think? I'm not completely sure that I'll apply EA anywhere, but I'd like to so that I can get college apps out of the way early in the year. Here are my stats. (Copied and pasted from my resume)</p>

Rank: 9/58
SAT: 2360 composite; 790 CR, 800 Math, 770 Writing (10 essay)

<strong>I've applied to several volunteer programs this summer, so I'll (hopefully) be able to add those on here; right now, I only have about 50 hours of community service</strong></p>
<p>That's where I am at this point; I'm a junior right now, so hopefully by the start of next year, I'll have more stuff to add. But with all that stuff, do you guys think I'm a strong applicant? Would I have an advantage in applying SCEA vs. RD to Yale?
Thank you in advance! (Especially if you read all this stuff! XD)</p>
