<p>This is really frustrating because there are 2 schools I really like but I don't know which one I should apply to for ED next year! Both have really low acceptance rates. I like college "A" because of it's location and I don't really know why but I'm sort of obsessed with that school! I also like college "B" because I grew up at that town and I have a personal story with that school so I think I can write a very different and powerful supplement. Any suggestions? Thank you! :)</p>
<p>If you fall within the range of the school’s published stats and have a genuine interest in it (like you would go their over any of the other schools you are thinking of) then it is ED worth. Take into account cost of the school as well. I feel like school A fits you better. You want to go their because you really like it there, school B just seems to me like a school you like because you lived near it once, not because you genuinely care greatly about it.</p>
<p>Okay, thank you. I like both schools about the same and I fit into both stat ranges… although I might be a slight bit under for school A. I’ve been having a really hard time deciding because the schools are pretty similar in terms of stats, admission rates, etc. And I like them both about the same… I would be happy if I got into either one. In this case, should I just apply to the one I have a bigger chance of getting in if I apply ED? Thanks so much!</p>
<p>Apply ED to the one you like better, a couple % points don’t make a difference. If you don’t get accepted, well, it happens, apply to the other one and write a stellar essay. Good luck!</p>
