<p>My #1 choice for Early Application so far is Princeton, due mainly to their Financial Engineering undergrad. But if you feel as if early applying there won't make a difference for me, please feel free to suggest other schools where applying early will be more advantageous. Also, I'd appreciate it if you would predict my chances at the other schools I'm applying to RD.
Thanks a ton to everyone and if you have any questions, please let me know.</p>

<p>You have good ECs and scores but sadly everyone applying over there does too.
Write good essays and show them why you would be good for their school…as for ED I think you should apply to you top choice…but do not get your hopes up.</p>
