EA at Gtown or ED at NYU

College Search & Selection

<p>Hey guys, so i have a dilemma... Georgetown has always been my favorite/dream school, however, realistically, I don't know if i now have a great chance getting in. My grades are a bit lower than their averages (but i'd like to think my ECs/recs make up for this). Anyway, another student at my school is also applying EA to Georgetown and her grades far surpass mine, she probably has excellent recs, but I definitely have better ECs than her (and maybe a few harder classes). I'm afraid that if we both apply from the same school, I'll be compared to her and fall short.</p>

<p>Now, I also really want to attend Stern and more specifically the BPE (Business Political Economy) program which is very competitive. </p>

<p>Realistically, which one should I go for? I'd love to go to both but I'd love to go to Georgetown more... but do I have a better chance EDing to Stern because of the comparison aspect?</p>

<p>I'm just anxious, please help!</p>

<p>I can’t imagine that applying ED helps much if at all and it’s binding, so why not apply EA to Georgetown and then regular to NYU?</p>

<p>Apply early to the school you love. If you apply Early Decision to NYU and get in, are you always going to wonder What if? when it comes to Georgetown? I get the strategy aspect of ED to NYU, but really, even if you don’t have a great shot at Georgetown, if its really your dream school you may as well play every card you have.</p>

<p>I would do EA at Georgetown and RD at NYU so you can compare end results.</p>

<p>You can do EA to Gtown and then ED II to NYU I believe, since (correct me if I’m wrong); you’ll hear back from Gtown before the NYU ED II deadline?</p>
