Read some of the threads as to whether ED really gives an edge to the average applicant for a school. The stats on ED are decptive. At most schools there are a limited number of ED spots. A good portion go to recruited athletes who all must apply ED. The vast majority of the remaining slots go to well qualified (top third of the stats) applicants with a hook- legacy, URM, development. The average stat unhooked applicant does not really get much of a boost except at a few schools which highly value demonstrated interest.

I would suggest taking the pressure off and just applying RD.
