Right now I want to major in Pre-Med and my top 2 choices are Uchicago and Northwestern. I'm not sure if I want to early action to Uchicago because I'm not sure if I can get in EA as opposed to ED at Northwestern which I know gives me a much higher chance of getting in.</p>

<p>Everything looks great except for the EC’s, which are pretty standard. With the legacy, I definitely think you’ll be accepted to Northwestern. U Chicago is harder to get into, but luckily for you, they don’t put a lot of emphasis on EC’s. If you write a good essay (which U Chicago does put a lot of emphasis on), I think it’s a match.</p>

<p>If you really like NU (at least your family do) and it is affordable to you, you should do ED NU and you are likely done early with college application.</p>

Good shot at both (better shot at NU)
