[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about Yale? Does SCEA give an advantage?[/quote]

Well, just look at the data. The dirty schools are Harvard, Penn, BU, NYU, Stanford, Columbia, Miami and USC. Add the large percentage of international admissions. And just look at who's admitted.

Your kid from Middle Class High School in Suburban USA is unlikely to be an admit.

I think Yale is a fairly honest admit though. The genuinely smart schools tend to be MIT, CMU, Vanderbilt, Brown, Rice, Chicago, Northwestern, Duke, CalTech, Harvey Mudd, Olin, Johns Hopkins, Dartmouth, Williams, West Point, and Annapolis.

And there are a lot of really smart kids at Michigan, UVA, Georgia Tech, and the UCs.

How to play the ED game is going to be situational. Personally, I don't think it's worth throwing that card at HYPSM.

And no, SCEA at Yale isn't going to help even though it's not a horrible school.

If you have a smart kid, be informed. And be strategic.

Every family with a talented kid needs to pay attention. Yale isn't evil. But you need to pay attention. Roughly 58,000 applicants. 2100 admits. And those 58,000 applicants aren't idiots. Choose wisely. The odd thing these days is that most Ivy admits are going to be rejects from their ED schools.
