<p>do i have a shot at ED brown? or would it be better to apply ED Cornell? Thanks for reading this and giving feedback</p>

<p>Cornell ED, if the two schools are truly equal--since the percentages are more in your favore there. If you like Brown better, I'd suggest applying there ED--even if it is slightly harder to get into.</p>

<p>what about regular decision at Johns Hopkins? and Washington University?</p>

4

<p>I'd say that you'd be a slight reach to match at those schools....and I agree with isleboy...ED does help yer chances out, and brown is slightly more stringent when it comes to admissions, so i'd go with cornell, although i'd say that both are reaches....but then again, which ivy isn't?</p>

<p>what do u mean by "slight reach to match"?</p>
