<p>Yeah, especially if they want to "spread the wealth."</p>
<p>I was deferred, but I received a phone call yesterday and was accepted.</p>
<p>harvard and yale reject, though. :(</p>
<p>Woah!! This is SO weird. I got in at Stanford EA but got waitlisted and Yale and Harvard, too. Somebody told me that my college counselor will tell schools if you got in somewhere EA, so I'm assuming that this it it, and if we really wanted to go to Y or H, we could stay on the waitlist and maybe get in. Who cares, I'm heading to CALIFORNIA!!! See you guys there, it's gonna b esoooo much better than the East Coast</p>
<p>So will I see you all at Stanford's Admit weekend? It will be AMAZING I'm sure! </p>
<p>It might just be an error of small sample size, but it doesn't seem like there is <em>that</em> much correlation between students accepted at Stanford (especially EA) and those accepted later at top colleges on the east coast. Do you think there really is a difference in the type of student each school admits? If so, how do you think Stanford students differ from those on the east coast?</p>
<p>Yale: Rejected
Stanford: Deferred EA, then ??????, no call yet which is bad but then again I've barely been home the past few days...</p>
<p>Incidentally these were my top 2 choices. Damn.</p>
<p>Accepted Stanford EA
Waitlisted at Yale.</p>
<p>My interviewer asked me directly if I had gotten in anywhere early, which I can't help but think is the reason I got waitlisted. Those bastards.</p>
<p>Updated:</p>
<p>Stanford(EA) : Deferred , Rejected</p>
<p>Princeton: Accepted
Yale: Accepted
Harvard: Accepted
MIT: Accepted</p>
<p>For some reason, I think I'd take HYPM acceptance letters over Stanford ANY DAY. GO BEARS!</p>
<p>OK, here's my final list</p>
<p>Stanford(EA): Accepted
Princeton: Accepted</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>Harvard: Waitlisted
Yale: Waitlisted
MIT: Waitlisted</p>
<p>hmmm....</p>
<p>Here, check this out
Harvard, Yale and other colleges that have "single choice early action" programs do not allow candidates to apply to other schools during the early-action period only. However, once they receive EA (Early Action) decisions (mid-December), then applicants are free to apply elsewhere, if they so choose.</p>
<p>Some colleges with early options exchange lists of admitted students, once their picks have been made. Therefore, if you apply early to such a college and you are admitted, then other colleges will see your name on that list. If you are not admitted, then the other schools will never know you applied elsewhere. But even when colleges don't check up on early applicants, your signature--and your honor--is still on the line.
</p>
<p>hmm do you think this happened to us?</p>

<p>That message is talking about colleges trying to make sure that you didn't EA to two different places. It's not saying that they exchange lists so they can reject other people.</p>
<p>ohhh i see. whoops <em>looks embarrassed</em></p>
<p>Although there is not reason that we should believe that they use the list to reject people who were accepted EA there's also not any reason why they couldn't do this... if they already have the list (ignoring issues of morality) why not just use it to their advantage?</p>
<p>I guess I buck the "trend" of stanford ea admits getting rejected by Yale, but not to worry, Columbia made up for it.</p>
<p>Stanford EA: accepted
Yale: accepted
Penn: accepted
Duke: accepted (robertson)
Columbia: waitlisted :p
current plans: probably duke, but there's a thread where you can help me make my decision</p>
