I think you have a good chance, esp. considering your sister goes. But... thinking about ED between 3 schools isn't a good idea. If you have to debate between schools to do ED for, then ED might not be for you. I think you have a perfectly good shot at any of those 3 on RD though, as long as you can write a really solid and personal essay, and bring the verbal score up a tad. Good luck!

Your sister attending will not help you, unfortunately. However, I'd strongly recommend sending in a tape of yourself playing the cello with your application. Your EC in cello sounds Excellent and Williams is the type of school that *may* forgive bad grades with good ECs. Your shot would be significantly better ED than RD, but you probably have a chance with either.
