This came up with in one of your previous threads. Your first choice school is the one where you think you have a least some chance. Except for the heavily-hooked applicants, individual chances are essential the admissions rate, or less. So a 10% chance is actually pretty good odds; a 20% chance, very good odds. If you believe your dream school odds are well below these numbers, then it’s best to convince yourself of this and move on. If not, then this is the place to send your ED application. It will most likely be denied, but then you have your ED2 and RD schools to choose from. If you realistically think you have some chance to be admitted to Brown, then apply ED to Brown. If not, then move on.
