<p>@snowboardchick97 - Applying to Columbia ED and UChicago EA is a good plan, as long as you willing to “settle” for Columbia. I was unaware this is possible until now. If you would be happy to end up at Columbia and never know if you might have been accepted at Yale or Stanford, then go for it. They are very different schools though…have you researched Columbia thoroughly to make sure it is a good fit for you?</p>
<p>I think you have chances at all of these schools, and would not be wasting your time in applying to any of them.</p>
