<p>Dude, Lawrenceville is hardly the middle of nowhere, it’s an Atlanta suburb in a fairly wealthy county.</p>
<p>GA Tech is really quite good in your desired fields. Also check out Duke, Vanderbilt, Rice, Wash U St Louis, UC San Diego, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, and RPI. I’m not sure about the ROTC opportunities. I know, being an alum, that you can get a full ride through ROTC at MIT, and it’s probably worth it to apply, because you’re good enough to be considered, but you wouldn’t want to bank on being admitted.</p>
