DO NOT APPLY ED (1 or 2) IF YOU ARE NOT 100% SURE YOU WANT TO ATTEND THAT SCHOOL IF ACCEPTED!!! =)
If finances are a part of your decision, ED won’t give you room to compare scholarship offers. If you think there’s a chance (even a .1% chance) that you may change your mind and consider other colleges, ED won’t give you that time to reweigh your options. Also, if you already applied ED1, I don’t believe you’re applicable to apply ED2, so that could screw up your admissions.
Anyways, to your question: all three are excellent schools. Emory, however, is mostly centered on social sciences and business programs; not necessarily science. The other two are mostly equal. It just depends on whether you’d rather be in Boston or Tennessee.
