You really can’t go wrong with either- two great schools! I’m a huge fan of WashU, but it sounds like you might prefer RIce a little? Both schools have EDI & EDII. Why not apply EDI to Rice and if you get denied you can apply EDII to WashU. I think applying ED at these schools is a great idea to increase your chance of admission (assuming you can afford it.) Good luck!
