[quote=Anonymous]^^^ to OP. SCEA is Single Choice Early ACtion.  Everyone understands that SCEA is offered to try and boost the Ivy's yield numbers.  When DD applied to Princeton SCEA, a professor asked her if she would commit to attending if she got SCEA and she said yes and he relayed that to admissions. That's what admissions cares about.  And when you got in SCEA you got your financial aid package so you can't complain about that.  To continue on to apply RD is tacky and rude and DOES hurt the standings of other kids in your DC's class.  When DC applied we used Penn State as a safety (pre-problems) since it was rolling.  The moment she got her SCEA, we reminded her to notify the schools to which she had already been accepted on rolling so as to free up those spaces for other students.  If you wanted to play this game, you should have applied to all IVies or whatever YOU (I don't think your child is behind this - we still haven't heard what your child wants to study) RD.  That would have been more fair.[/quote]
