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?

washu doesn't break out rates for ED1/ED2 separately so idk where you're getting that info but I can assure you that there is an undeniable advantage in EDing to washu 1 or 2 compared to RD as someone who got in RD
