<p>I am in love with both Penn and Harvard, but am in a dilemma because I can only apply early to one. I believe that applying early is advantageous especially for Penn(CAS) ED. I know applying early to a college shouldn't be to maximize chances of admission, but I would like to know if I have a chance at either of these two prestigious colleges and which one I should apply to early based on higher chance of admission. Thank you all very much!

Thanks again and all comments are appreciated(: also, is there any advice or anything I can improve on? </p>
<p>Your stats are very good. Your possibility for admission to either is greatly enhanced by applying early. Penn’s ED rate was 25% and Harvard’s was 21%. Write some stellar essays.</p>
<p>Both schools have strong physics departments. It’s a tough choice. Good luck.</p>
