I saw your other thread (Colleges like emory?) and was wondering if the schools on your list were already under consideration, or if they were added based on yesterday’s suggestions.
Do your safeties have similar characeristics to these more selective schools? If not, would you be happy to enroll and spend four years on those campuses? Your list is composed of schools that are small to mid-sized, and I sometimes find that people will then have safeties that are very different to their more selective options and then end up unhappy in the spring if those are their only options. Your safeties are the most important schools on your list.
Have you visited all of the schools, preferably while school is in session? When financially feasible, I think that’s an extremely important criteria if selecting a school to ED to. Assuming all schools have been visited, which is your favorite? Are you so convinced that it’s your favorite that you wouldn’t care to find out if any other schools offered you admission or gave you scholarships? Has it been your favorite for a period of time, or does your favorite still tend to change?
