Don’t think that you need a fixed list from the start. Using rolling and/or EA admissions can have impacts on your list. When my DS got an acceptance from a EA school, it completely removed all of his RD school list. It got replaced with 2 new reach schools. He also had 1 early rolling admission acceptance to release the pressure from the process. The school that he is currently attending didn’t even make it on the list until mid December of senior year.
