“But in my opinion they’re both a step above Michigan in prestige with Northwestern being 1.5-2 levels above.”

IMHO Northwestern is a true peer of Michigan. Emory is a step below both.

“If you like all equally the smartest thing to do would be to apply Northwestern ED1 then Emory ED2. Then if you don’t get in to either apply RD to Michigan.”

What? “Smartest thing to do?” Terrible advice. You can and should apply to Michigan EA. Michigan, like all public schools, doesn’t allow students to make a choice of ED to help maintain its yield.
