Okay so I have set a list of about 5-6 schools that I really like. I can’t decide if I should apply ED or not to not only help my chances but just to send one app and get the whole process over quickly- so here are the schools w/ pros/cons- still dont know what i wanna study in college
32 ACT and 4.0 weighted gpa

Duke: Legacy there, but prob dont have the stats for it w/o legacy?- great academics/athletics- liked the campus but hated the east campus where fresh live- also im concerned about competitiveness among students- should i?

vanderbilt: beautiful campus, amazing city, great size for a school for me, loved it when i visited- may not have all the programs i want?

UVA: bigger school than the others, not sure if i want state school- but also like the d1 sports aspect/a lot of opportunities- worried about class size

stanford: all around great school- most likely wont get in
wake forest: i felt was a combination b/w duke and vanderbilt in a way- liked the size of the school too
Miami (FL): great city, school, i would get in- but its got lots of programs im kinda interested in (marine bio, business etc)
USC- kinda like Miami in a way- havent visited but still kinda interested- too many students maybe? too much city?
other considerations- emory, BC, CMC, rice

so do I apply ED to one- to get into say Duke or vandy (i know uva/usc are RD) or do I just apply to all RD
thanks!
