Should I ED Cornell?

Applying to College
1

I’ve been battling myself for this for some time. You see, MIT is my top choice, but even with the EA my chances are pretty low. However, for Cornell, I would have a much better chance if I ED, but the trouble is that I’ll have to ED and if I am accepted for both MIT and Cornell, I will have to leave for the favor of Cornell, and that will make me sad.

What would you do? Should I EA to MIT and ED Cornell at the same time or just EA to MIT?

“You see, MIT is my top choice”
There you go. Only ED if the school is 100% your top choice.

Apply EA to MIT since it is your #1 and save Cornell for the regular round if you don’t get accepted early at MIT.
