<p>Here’s some questions I’d ask myself progressively if doing ED:</p>
<p>-If I get in, will I be a good fit and happy to attend this particular school?
It seems the answer to this is yes to you. Moving on…</p>
<p>-If this were EA instead, and I got in, would I apply to other schools?
It seems this answer is yes to you. Moving on…</p>
<p>-Would I apply to other schools mainly for the heck of it, thinking maybe something might change in a month or two, or because I seriously want to consider other options?
I’m leaning towards the latter for you here. Moving on…</p>
<p>-If after I (hypothetically) applied and got accepted to the other schools, would I change my mind?
It seems this is a maybe for you.</p>
<p>-If I changed my mind, would I be substantially better off?
Up to you to decide.</p>
<p>That said, if there is a school that is maybe just a bit better but where your chances of admission are likely worse (I don’t know if you’re that much worse off in Stanford admissions though, cause I can definitely see you getting in), then ED *may<a href=“or%20may%20not”>/i</a> still be a good idea. But instead of being able to make this decision by the end of senior year, you are forced to make it at the start. You and your interests can change a lot during that time. Mine certainly did. </p>
<p>I’d never do ED really unless it was to Stanford, which was my dream school throughout the process.</p>
