If NU is really your number 1 choice, apply ED. One of NU’s big deciding factors is interest - since they know students often apply to other top schools, a strong show of interest in NU specifically is very important. Applying ED shows extremely strong interest, and this can only help.

However, as dfleish mentioned, NU doesn’t defer, so be sure your app is as strong as you can get it before you send it in.

Good luck!
