<p>hey, you go to Parkview? I go to Chattahoochee, you guys owned us in football a few weeks ago lol. I’m applying to Vandy too. My brother applied last year, he was a lot like you, wanted to do engineering, about the same class rank and scores as you. You have way better extracurriculars though. My brother was wait-listed regular decision, and he ended up going to Georgia Tech, which is like you said way better for engineering. So I think you have a decent shot at getting in ED. But you said you could pay full tuition, menaing you will almost definitely be paying way more that 10,000 so be very careful about doing early decision. You’ll for sure get into UGA and tech. And since you mentioned carnegie mellon and cornell I’ll tell you my brother also applied to those schools: rejected at cornell, priority wait-list at carnegie mellon.</p>
