<p>Of all the schools you mentioned I think your scores are a bit light for Wash U. If you look through old CC posts you'll find that they have historically admitted candidates with lower scores ED (because it's binding and their yield is guaranteed) while the stats for RD have been significantly higher. Many people on CC have recommended to those with lower scores that they should apply Early Decision if they really want to go there.</p>
