Yale or Harvard SCEA?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>I love many things about both schools. I can't decide.
Harvard- I love Boston much better than New Haven.</p>

<p>Yale- I get the impression that the undergrad focus is much much more at Yale than Harvard.</p>

<p>SCEA slightly increase your chances. Since our regional officer said that yale accepted double the number of students of the national average from our state last year , and Harvard's acceptance rate from our region was half of the national average, I am leaning towards Yale. </p>

<p>What should I do? Also do the schools talk to each other after the SCEA has been sent in???
Any opinions or advice? Please?</p>

<p>“SCEA slightly increase your chances” Doubtful as many recruited athletes are admitted in this cycle. </p>

<p>But frankly ask yourself
scenario A: you apply and get acceted SCEA to Yale. Do you still apply to Harvard?
scenario B: you apply and get rejected SCEA to Yale. Do you still apply to Harvard?
scenario C: you apply and get deferred SCEA to Yale. Do you still apply to Harvard?
scenario D: you apply and get acceted SCEA to Harvard. Do you still apply to Yale?
scenario E: you apply and get rejected SCEA to Harvard. Do you still apply to Yale?
scenario F: you apply and get deferred SCEA to Harvard. Do you still apply to Yale?</p>

<p>If the answer is yes to all of them, then who cares? If there are NOs in your answer then that tells you something.</p>

<p>Just curious or considering SCEA for both?</p>

<p>Although many students consider sending in more than one SCEA, a high school’s guidance office would probably get black listed if it attempted to submit multiple SSR’s for colleges that have SCEA – hence many kids think of doing it, but it rarely happens.</p>

<p>absolutely not considering scea to both. i just thought if i get deferred or denied at my SCEA, then would it hurt my chances at the other if I apply RD.esp if they have talked to each other …if they dont talk to each other, then it would have no effect.</p>

<p>"would it hurt my chances at the other " H and Y know many applicants cross apply. Doesn’t come into play whatsoever due to its frequency. This isn’t anything to worry about.</p>

<p>It depends on your intended major. If it’s science-oriented, I advise you to apply SCEA to Harvard.</p>

<p>Why science-oriented particularly?</p>

<p>How did you find out the percent accepted from your area? I’d love to know stats for the Bay Area, particularly the East Bay!</p>

<p>Princeton for sure. HY are both too focused on grad schools. Pton has an only undergrad focus.</p>
