Ckmets13, none of the schools she’s applying to is “easiest” and none is “toughest” – It will come down to what these schools will want and are looking for and if she can fulfill those unknowns (to her). Ultimately, she needs to apply early to where she would be happiest; she also has an out if she’s deferred by Cornell and/or BC by applying EDII to Emory and/or Colgate. However, if she prefers Emory or Colgate to Cornell or BC, then by all means she should apply EDI. One thing that will determine where she should apply early is the curriculum that each school offers. If there’s one school that wins out there and also has the kind of campus experience she wants, then by all means that’s where she should go. Ultimately, ckmets13, she shouldn’t be looking at “easiest” or “toughest,” but “happiest” – of course, IMHO.
