My comment to JHU was based on you saying ‘they are supposed to have a good’…so you don’t communicate as researched.
You shouldn’t attend any school you don’t click with so maybe your safety shouldn’t be a SUNY. There’s lots of schools with a similar profile and unless you have large need, a similar cost.
You don’t want recommendations but there are great schools out there - example a Va Tech as a UGA sub or even FSU. A Bama or Arkansas as a UF alternate, etc. so a back up that’s similar to your preferred, etc. so you cover both bases…your desired but a similar of safety if it falls short.
Good luck.
