<p>MIT is my first choice, and i'm applying EA. however, i really do like columbia as well! if my chances at ED Columbia and EA MIT are equal, then i probably won't apply to columbia ED, but if somehow the ED would give me a boost or if MIT is just much harder than columbia to get in, ill probably take my chances with columbia ED! i know chances are slim to be admitted to either since both of the schools are highly selective, but i really would just appreciate some feedback! Thanks! :)</p>
