<p>bb, I would say that this is a classic case of when NOT to apply ED. Other than being urban ivies, Penn and Brown are on opposite sides of the personality spectrum. I don’t think the difference between Providence and Philly is as significant as the difference between the Brown and Penn personas. </p>
<p>You should apply RD and overnight at both after you’re accepted. You don’t mention the rest of your list, but I’d make sure it includes some less selectives.</p>
