EA Questions

[Monolith]

<p>I want to apply EA to MIT and caltech and Chicago. But, I know the acceptance rates are just about the same, if not lower, for these schools EA as opposde to regular. So, does it provide any boost to apply EA? Should I just wait? Maybe apply to some place that has SCEA (I can't apply ED because I need fin aid)? I should have straight A's for my mid year report, and I don't know if they'd be able to see that if I applied EA, becuase the first semester ends in december at my school. Also, it would give my teachers more time to write my letters of rec, and me more time to suck up to them. Also I wouldn't feel as freaked out right now, knowing I had to send them in in less than two months. But, I really love those 3 schools and would do anything to get a higher shot at them.</p>
