<p>Hi everyone! I am trying to decide whether I should apply early to Harvard or Wharton. I understand both are ridiculously difficult to get into but would like to know which I'd have a better shot at/ which would be more worth applying early to. Wharton is binding ED whereas Harvard is SCEA. I'd honestly be equally happy at both so I am asking which would be better strategically speaking. </p>
