One, don't ED Duke -- you'll get in there either way, so apply T4-T18.
Two, just use LSN -- you don't have anything weird going on here. You should have a straightforward experience.

Good for most of your choices (minus Berkeley, which is very black box about admissions, so no one really knows). I personally wouldn't ED anywhere so you won't give up negotiating leverage down the line. Duke at sticker is not cool.
Apply everywhere from penn on down and see what happens.
Edit: scooped

I applied ED, and take it from me - it's not worth it. The very marginal boost, if any, that you get is not worth sacrificing the ability to negotiate aid and consider other offers.

The only school you listed worth applying ED is Northwestern because it comes with a $150,000 scholarship.

The trend is for admissions to keep sliding. I’d apply from Penn on up.
