<p>Great stats Mrinal. You’re applying EA to so many universities? :-O</p>

7

<p>These schools:
1.Brown Univ. ( EA)
13.UPenn (EA)
have ED, not EA.</p>

<p>You are not eligible for MIT EA since you’re not an American citizen.</p>

<p>UCLA does not have EA.</p>

<p>Assuming you go with RD for everything,</p>

<p>UCB - yes
Georgia Tech - yes
MIT - no
Pennstate - yes
UCLA - yes
Stanford - unlikely
U Illinois Urbana - yes
U Michigan - yes
Purdue - yes
Caltech - no
USC - maybe
Vanderbilt - maybe</p>

<p>You want to apply to ALL 8 Ivy League institutions below?
Brown Univ
Columbia U
Cornell Univ
Dartmouth C
Princeton U
Yale
UPenn
Harvard</p>
