Take my chances with EA or do ED

<p>My two top schools are Boston College and Northeastern. My guidance counselor says that BC is a reach for me, and it is my dream school. He also said that I would probably get into Northeastern, so I am wondering if I should take my chances and apply EA to both, or if its worth it to apply Early Decision to Northeastern to up my chances of getting in. I love the atmosphere of BC but the opportunities at Northeastern seem endless and what I want. Any advice is appreciated!</p>

<p>Can your family afford both? have you run the net price calculators and do you know where the EFC is coming from? do your parents know?</p>
