<p>When a student can’t decide which is their number one, typically they apply RD. (Well, technically, if a given college is not explicitly your first choice, then you should not be applying early to it.)</p>
<p>To be honest, you have a year and a half to decide which is your number one. Right now, you should be focusing on exploring each one. I have a feeling that when you’ve done more of that, one of them will naturally become your first choice. Or a different college altogether will.</p>
<p>I would apply to Stanford early. But again, it comes down which one you like more.</p>
