<p>I applied SCEA at Yale but was deffered, so now I’m srambling to finish up all of my other supplements. I’m applying to Princeton, Penn, Cornell, Hopkins, Northwestern, and some local schools.</p>
<p>Good luck to us all! I’m hoping the lower number of SCEAs admitted will help us all out, but then again, there will be more applicants in general like you all said…</p>
<p>I got deferred SCEA, so I guess I’ll join the RD party!</p>
<p>I don’t think I’ll be filling out any more apps (luckily :o), since Yale was pretty much the only Ivy I was going to apply to.</p>
<p>Murphy600, if that was the case at Harvard, that is definitely not the case at Yale. In fact, Yale actually accepted less students in EA this year than in years prior (as indicated by the decrease in acceptance rate and the number itself).</p>
<p>Hopefully the lowered early acceptance rate for Yale bodes well for us RD applicants.</p>
<p>Yeah, it looks like people applying to Harvard are going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel for the spots that are left.</p>
<p>Well, only time will tell.
Just 4 months. 4 crazy, tense, stressful and neverending months. :p</p>
<p>They must have really found us unspectacular to reduce their acceptance numbers despite the higher number of applicants… :(</p>
<p>where else are all of you applying ?</p>
<p>philotovist - Come on bud, dont feel that way. Im sure good news is waiting for you in April! 
cheer up mann.</p>
<p>Oh, I’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Vanderbilt, Duke, Ohio State
And a few more ivies, presumably. H, P, B…</p>
<p>Also deferred SCEA, let’s go RD. Any other internationals in this party?</p>
<p>I’m with you Tiago - I’m from France.</p>
<p>Good luck everybody! All the hard work you put into your Yale supplement just may be worth it! Luckily for you, Yale didn’t take too many of us SCEA kids this year-- just 649-- that’s 250 less than Harvard, which will probably have like a 3% RD acceptance rate. Best of luck!</p>
<p>This will be a long four months for all of us!</p>
<p>And no offense to anyone applying to Harvard, but it’s going to be awfully tough to get in there, considering their acceptance rate is going to be something like 3% like litotes said!</p>
<p>On another note, does anyone know how much sending additional material will help? I plan on sending my ACT scores from December (the first time I took them I didn’t manage my time well, so my score should theoretically be higher this time since I didn’t skip any). Are any other SCEA people planning on sending anything?</p>
<p>hey guys! working on my supplement now! anyone wanna swap and edit?</p>
<p>ram0276: If I remember correctly, you applied to Harvard early and were deferred like me :)</p>
<p>My Yale supplement is only 280 words right now (I love it the way it is but I have to stretch it grrr…) and I’d be willing to swap w/ you when I finish!</p>
<p>also applying to Yale, Dartmouth, Ohio State, Case, Oberlin, Vanderbilt, and Princeton</p>
<p>and I’d swap, but I already submitted everything.</p>
<p>Got deferred EA, keeping hopes up; but applied to all my safeties today.</p>
<p>I wonder why Yale accepted less in the early round this year. Any ideas?</p>
<p>… perhaps at the end of RD committees, they found too few slots and wished they could have pushed back some they admitted in the SCEA? Just guessing here.</p>
