REACHES! Where should I apply early decision?

<p>I'm afraid that if I take it, I will do worse. I was expecting scores much lower. I guess I should try it anyway. poo.</p>

<p>I would highly disrecommend someone to apply ED if they ever asked "Where should I apply ED?". Its kind of like asking "What's my favorite flavor of ice cream?".</p>

<p>another thing to consider is financial aid. if you're going to apply to fin aid, ED might not be a good idea because then you won't be able to compare fin aid packages at diff schools. best of luck.</p>

<p>yeah, I know, but I care more about just getting accepted to the school I want to go to. Thanks Mathwiz. As if I haven't gotten enough crap for saying that as it is.</p>

<p>Applying RD isn't the end of the world. Most schools would give you the same decision if you applyed RD rather than ED.</p>

<p>Also, consider EA. Its just like ED, but it isn't binding.</p>

<p>Mathwiz, there are plenty of schools that separate ED, EA and RD pools, and ED has many advantages at high caliber schools (vanderbilt is one that i know of). Im in a similar situation, and I want to apply to a school where ED will give me the greatest advantage. And It's not like asking what's your favorite flavor of ice cream. what the hell.</p>

<p>Well, I'm glad somebody understands.</p>
