Should I hold off on ED-ing anywhere?

<p>

<p>Well, that’s the thing. I don’t have a clear first choice, but I’d be extremely happy at any of my top four choices (and they are all very similar). Three of those choices are 100% need, no loans schools at which I’d get a fantastic financial aid package, guaranteed. Applying ED would increase my chances (although I already have okay chances), alleviate a lot of stress, and save me a lot of time and money. I’d love to do it and I don’t think I’d regret it, but I feel hesitant. I guess I’m worried about getting rejected and then having to deal with the regular application season. But honestly, as I get closer and closer to application season, I’m starting to think ED is a good idea…</p>
