WashU or UChicago for ED?

Title.

ED WashU is pretty much a guaranteed acceptance for me. 

ED UChicago is a maybe. 

UChicago is leaps and bounds ahead of WashU, but is the risk-reward worth it? WashU isn't terrible, and their IB club seems to be pretty decent. 

Currently, UChicago is my ED choice. Worth switching over or nah?
