<p>Ok EmmyBet how did you travel back in time to post your response?! </p>
<p>Top choice’s are Brown University followed a close second by Northwestern. Brown will likely be the ED school. Therefore, looking for a similar school (strong academics with abundant performance opportunities) with an Early Action option.<br>
So if the ED school defers, it would be ideal to get an acceptance from an EA school in order to take some pressure off the regular decision application process. I hope that makes sense. This is for 2014, but we’re visiting now.</p>
<p>This is for my daughter. It’s quite easy to get excited about Brown and Northwestern, but I need to find more of sure bet (Early Action) that she would also be excited about.</p>
<p>UNC Chapel Hill remains on her list as a possible EA school. I’m intriqued by UMass, because of the five school five school consortium.</p>
<p>I’d appreciate any suggestions.</p>
