Got rejected by Stanford EA--but life goes on! Does this list seem good?

The OP should of course demonstrate interest at UR.

I meant the University of Southern California. LACs around this statistical range would “add interest,” but were not recommended as safeties.

RPI, used as an example of a safety (3), reports higher standardized scoring than USC, Emory or Rochester, so the decision as to where to draw lines is not clear.
