OP, I have seen other international students who are being told to re-do their list (as you are being told by pretty much every poster here) counter-argue that they have good, affordable safeties and reaches in their home country. and it is only worth going to the US for something great / materially better than what they can get at home. IMO that is a very valid argument for an international to apply only to reaches (in either the admissions or the financial sense) in the US. Is that the case for you? If so, great. If not, put me in the camp of ‘go back and re-build your list’. (btw, in that scenario @AustenNut’s last post is a real gift)
