After careful consideration and meditation, I have decided to enter the Questbridge match and forgo the SCEA. If I’m not matched, I will apply to Yale via RD. I believe I was preparing to act on impulse and I’m very grateful for those who provided me with advice on this thread that steered me in the right direction. I will have more time to raise my ACT score, make sure my essays are as refined as they can be, and to further develop my outreach program and charity organization.
