[quote=Anonymous]The colleges review acceptances by school. The point to selecting the SCEA ischool s that it is a clear first choice not just a stategic advantage. Fit is suppose to matter. The student has an advantage for admissions for a well-fitting school and the school wins with yield protection. When that same student uses a hook such as first to college or URM to trophy hunt during RD, knowing she will accept the SCEA because it was their #1 choice, it hurts the chances of her classmates during the RD round to land a good fit for them. Waitlist is not done by school. So the people that get hurt are your frends. I think in the ancient past when elite college acceptances were much easier to come by and RD was a real round, some shopping probably did not have the same negative impacts. Today the field is very different. [/quote]
