Of the two strategies in #13, I suppose #1 is a slightly better way to roll the dice (just because it could give you two shots at an “early” advantage.) However, the best way to maximize chances of finding a good program isn’t by gaming the admissions systems of these two schools. It’s by adding other alternatives to your application list. Consider Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Rice, CMU, Rochester, CWRU, your own state flagship, other state schools (if you don’t need need-based aid), etc.
