Should I apply ED to Tufts or Brown?

College Search & Selection

So Brown is my dream school, and is absolutely my top choice by a mile, but Tufts is my second choice, and I’m wondering which I should apply ED to.
I will have a 3.75 UW GPA (4.6 W), an estimated ACT score of at least 35, and good EC’s.
I know they’re both reaches, and Brown is more so (it is for everyone, but I think my GPA is a little below the average admitted) and I do have a legacy at Tufts. Is it worth it to shoot for Brown, or am I being totally naive? I’ve posted before and people advised me to apply ED to Tufts instead, but I’m really on the fence as I would absolutely love to go to Brown.

Thanks!

Tufts has ED2, so you could do Brown and if unsuccessful, do Tufts as ED2. I think you will still get your legacy “bump” in the ED2 round.
