Good stats + meh ec's prospective shotgunner

If you love UVA then why ?

If you want to shotgun some sure…but I would find schools that do not track Demonstrated Interest. The Ivies. Emory, etc.

I wouldn’t solely trust the list I attached. . Still check each school.

A top school that tracks interest…don’t bother.

If you’re going to go to UVA vs spending $80k a year elsewhere…well it’s just a game then.

The list says UChicago tracks interest. They don’t have a common data set so I can’t verify this but on their webpage they talk about the ways to get to know them. So to me if you’re taking a shotgun approach, I wouldn’t include Chicago but rather the schools that definitely don’t track.

Good luck.
