im so indecisive right now, I applied and was deferred from duke ed1. i would like to apply ed2 at emory to better my chances., I don’t know what to do cuz duke is my first choice by far, but emory is 2nd by a large margin also and I don’t know if i can get accepted to emory without the ed2 benefit. but let’s just say i did apply ed2 to emory which i prob will do, if i was one of the 10% who got accepted later for duke and i was accepted emory, I would be committed to emory. what u think? thanks.
here arre my stats. what u think my chances are for regular and then for ed2 at emory and chances to be accepted at duke now that i’m considered rd. thanks very much:
