Honestly if you’re genuinely confused and definitely want to apply early, go for Stanford EA. It’s non-binding unlike the other 2 so at least you can change your mind. I agree with fireandrain though - the research you do in the next 5 months will probably sway your mind towards or away from any of these choices. Brown and Columbia have radically different academic philosophies and Stanford is somewhere in the middle so I think you should take some time off to understand what approach to academics you are inclined toward before making any sort of commitment.
