Major? Cost factor?

Binghamton- Reach if you are applying to business school.
UD and Maryland are “reaches” for all NYers due to the stiff competition for spots at these popular schools. (Well, really a “match” but it is up in the air if anyone will be accepted.)
If you are going into the sciences, Buffalo is a better choice than Binghamton.
(By the way, son is engineering major at Buffalo, thriving. He was accepted to Binghamton and loved the school but not the engineering program. Since that time I’ve really become aware of the great sciences/healthcare programs at Buffalo. Cost at either is great as well and the kids are very happy at both.)

UNC only accepts 10% or so OOS. UF or some of the Big Ten schools are great for most any major and have a similar vibe to Maryland as far as size and school spirit. Reach- Michigan.

Agreed that a “reach” is not necessary. You have a great list.
