[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, the SCEA schools don't do any form of rolling admissions.  I would also view an SCEA deferral as a soft rejection unless you have a hook that wasn't strong enough to get you through SCEA but may be off waitlist in RD e.g. double legacy, meaningful donation, URM, helmet sport but not top D1 calibre athlete.

Gotcha, thanks. I wasn't sure about the rolling part. So all the elite deferrals go back into the RD bucket and nobody is notified ahead of the RD date?[/quote]

That's right and what's in the SCEA RD bucket can upset even a deferral where they indicate the student is good to go for RD if they just do one thing, e.g. A in a class.  That happened to our kid.  Accomplished what was ask but the slot went to a left field RD applicant from same school.  In the end, it all worked out terrifically but getting there was rough.  If we had it to do again, I would have said yes when asked by my kid if strategic was better than throwing an early card at that particular SCEA school.  The EDII option was thankfully available and our gut instinct about UChicago turned out right.  [/quote]
