I’ve been putting my list together of where I want to apply this fall based on some research and some posts here. I’ve tried to pick some safeties, matches, and reaches, but I’d really appreciate any insight or thoughts about the schools I picked and any other schools that might be a good choice. I’m looking for schools with good IR programs on the east coast and preferably located in or near a decent sized city (although I overlooked that with schools like W&M and UVA), and I also like mediumish sized schools (not LACs) although I did apply to Ohio State as a safety. I’m a URM with a 34 ACT and a 4.0/4.6 and good but not spectacular EC’s.

Local Safety School
Ohio State (safety)
Georgetown SFS (reach)
Yale (reach)
Columbia (reach)
Tufts (low reach)
George Washington (high match)
UVA (high match/low reach)
William and Mary (high match)
UPenn or UChicago (reach)
BU (low match/ maybe safety)

American University (match/maybe safety)
