I am torn between applying ED to Northwestern or not, because my other school of interest is UC Berkeley, which has a unique application date of Nov.30 with no EA/ED. However, I am not sure of my chances getting in to Northwestern without early decision, as I fall almost exactly at their 50% for scores and GPA, which are as follows:
