Congratulations on doing so well in High School. Your background makes you a very competitive applicant. You are fortunate to have two excellent in-state options in Georgia Tech and UGA and I would be surprised if you are not admitted to at least one of them. If you are interested in applying to a couple of T20 schools, do a little research and see which ones would be a good fit for your interests and preferred location/size/vibe. For example, Dartmouth and Columbia are quite different location wise and Columbia and Brown, while both urban, are very different in terms of academic approach. Before applying to any schools outside of your in-state options (which I assume are affordable) make sure to run the NPC to see what it might cost and if that cost is affordable - these days many T20 schools are $90k+ if you do not qualify for financial aid (although they are generous and several offer aid to families making up to $250k).
