Hello! Thanks for the advice! What schools would you classify as “next tier down”? Do you have any specific examples in mind? I’m looking at a pretty wide range of schools from really competitive (like Ivy League level) to much smaller private schools. Is something in the middle the way to go? Would you recommend looking at schools based off of their average SAT scores and judging that way? (like perhaps going for schools where my SAT is in say the 75th percentile as opposed to the 50th percentile or the 95th percentile?)
