<p>I like both equally. I want to apply early decision to the one school that I have a better chance of being accepted. Does anyone know which one? I am a good student with really good grades and all the other factors that admissions officers look at. Thanks</p>
<p>If you haven't demonstrated plenty of interest in WashU at this point, go for Northwestern. Washington is notorious for waitlisting qualified applicants just because it seems like they applied to Washington as a 'safety school'.</p>
<p>That's stupid.</p>
<p>If he's applying early decision they're not going to waitlist him because they don't think he's interested in coming.</p>
<p>I'd go for NU because their acceptance rate for ED is 43%...</p>
<p>As opposed to Wash U's 25%.</p>
<p>Nevermind Wash U's ED rate isn't 25. It's not released, but I'd guess it's around 30-35%.</p>
