<p>so, i'm just about to send my early decision application out to vanderbilt... but i'm having second thoughts.</p>

<p>i love vandy. visited it. LOVED IT. the whole preppy thing that people made such a big deal about didn't seem so evident to me--but i'm a bit preppy, so that wouldn't be an issue even if it was.</p>

<p>but i also love BC, and ND, and UIllinois, and Wisconsin, and Texas, and Lehigh, and the list goes on... but i also don't want to limit myself to only the places i've heard of.</p>

<p>i really want to do something with design, engineering, or economics/finance, and i need a place that offers all of those with, at the very least, pretty well-respected programs in each.</p>

<p>can someone help?</p>

<p>You love many schools…I wouldn’t apply ED then.</p>

<p>What are your stats?</p>

<p>Will your parents pay for wherever you go? If not, then how much will they pay?</p>

<p>From another post by the OP:

</p>

<p>Obviously with those scores and that class rank most schools are in play. UIUC makes obvious sense since it’s in-state and a great engineering school.</p>

<p>@mom2collegekids, i’m just a bit scared of not getting into vandy, and if i apply rd i don’t think i’d get in. my parents do fine and they can pay for wherever i go so luckily cost isn’t an issue.</p>

<p>It’s a loooong time from November to September to make such a commitment to a school you’re not in love with, plenty of time to regret your decision; April 30 is more reasonable as a decision date in such a case. Be careful!</p>
