Difference between SCEA, EA, REA, ED? - College Confidential Forums <p>REA and SCEA are essentially two terms for the same concept, which is that when applying REA or SCEA to that school, you agree not to apply EA or ED to a large set of other schools The exceptions do vary, so read each school’s list of exceptions carefully < p>
Should I SCEA? - Yale University - College Confidential Forums Class of 2020 SCEA Applicants = 4,662 ((minus 180 athletic recruits) = 4482 Class of 2020 SCEA Acceptances = 795 (minus 180 athletic recruits) = 615 So the overall acceptance rate taking recruited athletics out of the mix = 13 72% (615 4482), which is less than the stated 17 05% SCEA acceptance rate
SCEA? Whats that? - College Confidential Forums <p>SCEA = Single Choice Early Action If you apply to a SCEA school early you can’t apply to any other school under SCEA EA ED I think you can still apply to rolling schools though It’s “harder” to get in SCEA instead of RD because Stanford “defers” very few applicants to the RD round Most either get rejected or accepted < p>

Is Harvard SCEA worth it? - College Confidential Forums But I would add that I still think it is a rare case that a kid who gets in SCEA would have been rejected RD Pure speculation of course The indirect support for this speculation though is that a fair number of deferred’s get accepted in the RD round, meaning at least in the SCEA round, the SCEA admits were ranked higher than the deferred
What is the signficance of EA, ED, ED2, RD, REA, SCEA etc? There’s a variation to EA offered by some private colleges (mostly the elites): Restrictive Early Acceptance (REA) also known as Single Choice Early Action (SCEA) This is like EA in that it’s non-binding, but it restricts you from applying EA ED to any other private college

Yale SCEA - Yale University - College Confidential Forums <p>It DEFINITELY USED to be easier to get into Yale SCEA (Yale SCEA last year was around a 19% admit rate compared to 6% RD)< p> <p>However, now that Yale’s apps increased because everyone is using it as a “backup” for Harvard Princeton which both got rid of its earlies, Yale can’t possibly take 20% since the number of apps went up < p>
