<p>ED is inappropriate unless you have that one dream school you will attend if there is any way possible. Wait until May 1 to make your final decision.</p>

<p>Sorry, I don’t know much about the listed programs, but I have to say this:</p>

<p>You have an incredible service record and very strong numerical statistics (780 in biology? I’m jealous :P). If I could recommend one thing, it would be to take the SAT one more time (which is why you are taking the SAT Prep).</p>

<p>Anyways, best of luck, sir!</p>

<p>ED might make sense in this situation since the OP is not exactly a shoe-in and he doesn’t want to risk getting rejected at all his reaches</p>
