What school should i apply early descision to.

What school should i try to ed? Cost it not an issue as long as the school is good. I'll be 150k yo 200k in debt when i graduate but with finance salaries being six figures your first year out of college and the growth in compensation the debt should be worth it i think. Any opinions on that?

I'm looking for a balance between admission chances and school prestige.

Here are the ones that i'm looking at:
Washu olin
Boston college
Carnegie mellon
Upenn
Nyu

Heres my stats:

Weak EC relative to other ivy contenders. IRRC there are a few sub-reddits dedicated to admission and admission results. A lot of people with amazing ECs get rejected from all of the ivies.

 

Try for EA schools like Notre Dame or Georgetown. If I remember correctly Boston College is by far the easiest to get in with a 41% acceptance rate for Early Decision last year, but I personally would never settle for a semi target school like that when there are so many better options available (e.g. literally all the schools you listed besides Emory)
