Also,
I decided not to ED because I come from around a 100K per year household which would make it tough to financially commit anywhere. I’m also applying test-optional because I never got a chance to take the ACT. However, I’m optimistic to get into a few schools as my school has good yields at UMich (25%), GeorgiaTech (30%), Vanderbilt (21%), Northwestern (18%), so hopefully, I’ll get into one of them!
