<p>Chance me guys!!!!!! Also, would it be better if I did SCEA for Yale, Harvard, or Princeton or ED for WashU, Duke, or JHU? I really love all those 6 universities, but I don't know if I should do ED, where I might have higher chances of acceptance, or do SCEA and hope I will get into one of those 6 universities (lower chances of acceptance). I am at crossroads, please help me :( </p>

<p>If you require financial aid, don’t do ED. Otherwise, apply early to the school you would most like to attend. You’re a strong candidate wherever you apply, so you would be a student likely to benefit from the EA/ED bump.</p>

<p>Any other opinions??</p>

<p>Shamelessly bumping again. </p>

<p>You’re a little one sided, but definitely a strong applicant. </p>

<p>You are reach except HYP. Congratulations on high achivement, I know how hard to maintain ! good luck </p>

<p>Your academic stats are great. Your EC’s are a good mix, and at this point, you should think about putting focus on the EC’s that will be most helpful for your major. I think you will be competitive in all the schools you mentioned (specially if you are applying ED/EA), except for HYP. Try to pick carefully where you will apply ED. I think you have a really good chance of getting in to JHU ED. </p>

<p>What is your intended major? Do you need financial aid? Even though we saved some money for college, I am finding more and more that we cannot afford to send my D to a private college without a good merit aid. </p>
