<p>Should someone apply early decision/early action to their safeties, or to their reaches?</p>
<p>I know that in some places that are difficult to get in to, one's chances of acceptance are increased by applying ED/EA. On the other hand, if someone applies to their safety early, they would get in and not have to worry about not knowing where they're going.</p>
<p>For example, next year I'm applying to JHU, Princeton, and a bunch of other schools. I am fairly confident that if I applied to JHU ED/EA I would have a high chance of getting in. On the other hand, I really want to apply to Princeton ED/EA as well. Which one should I apply ED/EA to?</p>
