Stanford SCEA or MIT EA???

Applying to College

<p>K....
MIT right now is numero uno by a lot; Im in touch with the running coach and I will submit supplimental piano... And Im not stupid so my chances may not be good but at least wont be 0...</p>

<p>BUT!!!!</p>

<p>Stanford is looking pretty delish too (as in number 2 school). I love the school's atmosphere, and I have met the admission counselor and she looked me in the eyes and told me Stanford wants kids that love to learn (C'est moi...) Anyway. </p>

<p>Here's the point:
At MIT, my chance of getting in EA is low because it is not single choice (16%).
But at Stanford my chance is higher because it is single choice (30%).</p>

<p>Taking into account all the athletic recruits at stanford and all other kinds of info, the final question is:</p>

<p>MIT EA or Stanford SCEA?????
HELP! :)</p>

<p>and also Im a native californian and something like half of Stanford is from CA...</p>

<p>Stanford's SCEA acceptance rate is 17%, not 30%. Anyway, if you really love MIT, you should just do that EA. Go with your first choice. Your chances are roughly equal either way.</p>

<p>Do MIT. It's your number one. Besides, Stanford is one of the hardest schools in the nation to get into early because they recruit legacies and athletes (especially) like crazy.</p>
