If you apply ED to BC and get in you are correct.
If you don’t get in or don’t ED, you’ll get some at some on your list.
If cost were an issue, you could attend solid B schools for 30% of BC’s cost.
As for your list, I’d lean against BC but you never know. Villanova too.
UMD, UMass and Fordham yes with UMD the hardest of the three.
Babson a toss up but you are full pay. That will help.
SU and GW are likely if demonstrating interest. Lehigh possible but less. I wouldn’t expect BU, NYU or Emory but you never know.
If you have Babson, why not Bentley ?
What is your goal with this degree ?
You say you want merit but built an expensive list beyond UMASS.
IF you want other possibilities, state the budget - I want merit is not saying - I want $25k or $40k - and any limitations like geography etc.
But you’ll have some choices from this list.
