EA even though my grades won't change

<p>Many forums say that with the EA/ Regular Decision choice, one should apply regular because of increasing one's GPA in the fall, but I am doing IB and my teachers aren't going to change my predicted grade anymore... </p>

<p>My grades above average, but not the best, 39 in IB. Should I still apply EA to Chicago and Notre Dame and hope that they accept/ defer me or will I have a better chance of applying regular?</p>
