Emory vs. NW ED

So I have a decision to make that's going to have to be made soon: either apply to Emory ED or Northwestern ED. I want to go into investment banking, preferably in the North somewhere(Chicago or NYC doesn't matter). The dilemma here is that I can only apply to one, and ED raises my chances by a lot. I'd peg my chances at Emory ED at around 75% but only around 45% normally(totally ballpark). OTOH I'd peg my chances at 35% ED for NW and would probably not even apply RD because my chances would much much lower.

I feel that the NW name would be stronger but Emory is not that bad. Another thing complicating the equation is that there's a lower chance of my parents paying for all 4 years of school at Emory while I'm around 90% sure they'd shell out for NW. I might have to pay full price for 2 years or so at Emory, which would be absolutely horrific.

The last factor is that ED raises my chances by a lot, and without it, I would probably have a much lower chance elsewhere. I would then have to take my chances with regular admission, and anything goes there. I might have to end up going where my parents might not pay for anything past the first year and be in a worse place for recruiting.

Thoughts? Sorry for turning this place into College Confidential.
