Can I be a mom here for second?
Don’t worry. You aren’t behind. You are fine. I promise you we added schools over Christmas last year and it was all just fine.

So a couple of thoughts if you are open to them.
First — what is magical about today that the list must be finalized? It would seem unlikely to go from total open brainstorm mode to finalized list in a matter of hours. So I’m wondering where this deadline is coming from and if perhaps you might be drumming up unnecessary stress for yourself?
Second — if there is any chance you might expand beyond 5 applications at any point in the next month, my suggestion would be to have at least one school in SÃO if you possibly can. So if you apply to Loomis, for instance, I believe they accept both gateway and SÃO and so maybe do that in SÃO? I’ve written a lot about this before so I won’t repeat here. But it sure does make adding schools easier. Many folks would point out that five applications to highly competitive schools is risky. I think you’ve indicated that you have a good day school option at home though?

Agree with comments above that the vast majority of BS will offer discussion based classes. (I will say HK humanities seemed extra special when we visited.)

Have you considered episcopal given your politics and DC interest?
