<p>I absolutely love everything about Vanderbilt and I know that even if I were to get into better schools, I would choose Vandy. That being said, I was considering applying early decision but at the same time don't want to close myself off to other options. I've done this before but was not very thorough and I now have more accurate information to share. Can someone please chance me for both EARLY and REGULAR decision. THankyouu! I'll return the favor.</p>
