<p>Thanks guys for all of the helpful comments. As deadlines approach, I cannot help but become more anxious and nervous, wondering about what I should do. I have been seriously considering applying to Tufts EDII. The only problem is, though I'm sure that I would truly enjoy attending (I have been there a couple of times and liked what I saw), the voice in the back of my head keeps telling me not to do this; subconciously, Brown is where I want to be, if I don't get into my first choice. I'm just concerned that if I don't apply early, I may not get into Tufts or Brown in the regular decision pool, and become SOL. I know that you guys can't give me a concrete answer to what I should do (it's all up to me, after all), but any advice on this matter would be appreciated. In the end, though, I just feel fortunate that I have the opportunity to "have" to deal with these "tough" decisions.</p>
