You have lots of great advice and I realize the deadline has passed, but.......
My son was in your shoes 2 years ago. All these schools told him he would never get in if he didn't apply ED. In his case it was the top liberals (Williams, et al). He was new to Navy, so it wasn't like he had always known he wanted to attend. We are also from a very hard area to get a nomination (outside DC). He didn't do it. He held off. Told them all no, he was going to try for Navy. I felt it was a huge gamble, but he was determined. He got his nomination April 1st and is now a 3/C. He will tell you it was the best decision he ever made. He cannot imagine himself at any of those other schools. PS. He got into every single one of those schools regular decision.....
