You have some big reaches (Ivies, MIT, Amherst) and then some schools you’ll probably get into (NYU, Kenyon) that don’t give good aid.

Your list needs a balance. If you qualify for need based aid and can afford your EFC you need a few schools that meet 100% of need that are less competitive and where your math score is at least at the center of the 50th percentile.

If you need merit aid you need schools where your stats are at the top of their pool.
