I don’t think Yale or Vanderbilt are likely. Your GPA isn’t strong enough even with your outstanding SAT score. Of course, if you have some kind of hook (URM, recruited athlete, notable musician, child of big donor) my answer would be different. Without a hook, admissions to those schools are extremely unlikely for any student. With that in mind I’d consider saving ED for a school a notch down where you could possibly get a bump (if you have another school you really, really like that is a bit of a stretch) – of course it would need to be affordable as well.
