would i REGRET if i don't ED?

Applying to College
1

<p>my gpa is top 1% in my school, but my sat is between 2100~2200.
im taking my first subject tests this october and taking final sat in november (aiming for 2200+)
I want to do ED to my top choice school (ivy) but the problem is that i have to study for subject test till next week and this gives me less than a month to prepare for college app+supp.
during the month i will have tonns of tests and assignments for IB and on top of that, I have to study for nov sat.
So I'm worried that I might end up ruining both SAT and application for my top choice school.</p>

<p>I'm thinking of not doing ED but people tell me I will regret if i don't....
Do you guys think it is a good idea to focus on SAT+GPA and prepare for RD after I finish my nov sat or should I just push my self to apply ED??</p>

<p>ED should be attempted by those who have the time to put forth a great application, have a solid 9-11 transcript and can afford the school regardless of FA determination. It seems your applications will be stronger when you can invest more time into them later. I would eschew ED. You don’t want to submit a subpar ED app when you can submit a strong RD app.</p>

<p>I agree. I wouldn’t do ED unless you’re pretty sure your app is as good as it is going to be</p>
