Which school has most favorable chances for SCEA?

Applying to College

<p>So i'm having a lot of troubles deciding which school I want to apply Single Choice Early Action to. The 4 that I'm looking at right now are Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford. I heard about Harvard and Princeton reinstating Early Action after a hiatus, but I'm not too sure how that's going to affect the chances of getting in. Does anyone know which school would have the most favorable chances? And if there's any other schools at around this caliber that are Early Action? (the only one I know of is U Chicago)</p>

<p>UVA is re-introducing Early Action this fall. If I were you I’d apply early action to schools like UVA that aren’t as random in their admissions as places like Harvard or Stanford. That way you’ll have the option of going to a great school like UVA in December/January and alleviate some of the stress that many students feel in April.</p>

<p>Thanks, I’ve never really thought about UVA but I’ll consider it now. Does anyone have an answer to my Early Action at HYP/Stanford question?</p>

<p>HYPS will all be roughly equally hard to get into. If there’s one that stands out to you, then go for it. Otherwise, UChicago, Georgetown, UVA and UNC-Chapel Hill are all EA.</p>

<p>I believe you can actually do Stanford and UVA/UNC simultaneously, as UVA is a public school and Stanford’s policy allows one to apply early to public schools.</p>

<p>Okay thank you all for the advice! I will weigh my options, good thing it never hurts to take a chance!</p>
