My father went to Vanderbilt and he just interviewed someone who was highly qualified and had scores/GPA similar to your’s; the person did not get in. Vanderbilt is extremely fickle with their admissions and is rather unpredictable. I would apply to Vanderbilt because you seem like a match but nothing is ever for sure. Be sure to write a strong essay for Vandy. You have several errors in your writing on this post so be sure to have someone proofread your essay(s).
Vandy - Match but admissions are unpredictable
Carnegie Mellon - Match
Princeton - Reach
Georgia Tech - Low reach
