You sound like a Berkeley prospect

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

You'll get into Stern without ED if you ask me. Maybe do EDII if you're worried. If I were you I would do REA at Georgetown, EA at UVA (and wherever else), and RD Stern + any other schools you want.

should i ED stern or go for regular?

Maybe just regular. Because if you got into Wharton, you'd have to go there.

How many schools are you applying to?

as someone else said, i'd only ditch uva for top ivies (not brown/cornell), chicago, stanford, and duke. maybe top nescacs like amherst/williams/middlebury too.

unless your parents have absolutely no idea what to do with $300k+, don't waste money on NYU
