Looks like a good list to me, given your stats. I would have mentioned Pitt and Rochester as possible merit aid safety schools if BeanTownGirl hadn’t already done so. Regarding your Ivy selection: I assume Brown is there because of their auto-med-school-acceptance program. I also assume that you prefer a fairly urban environment, but don’t want a core, which is why Columbia, Cornell, and Dartmouth aren’t there but Penn is. Which brings me to the U of C: if you want to be able to evade/slide through the humanities requirements to some degree, it may not be the best choice. I love the U of C, but I question whether it belongs on your list. (It is true that they do have a few large merit scholarships, though.)
