If it helps, this is the current list. I don’t feel this list is super top heavy, and he certainly doesn’t have his heart set on LSE in particular (I’m not sure it will even end up on the list when he picks his top 5 most interesting options for UCAS). He is putting lots of energy into exploring his safeties and matches… we have full day visits planned for each safety, and he is considering these schools just as seriously as the reaches.

UK: Edinburgh, UCL, ICL, LSE. Maybe Glasgow, KCL.

Canada: McGill (Arts or A & S), UBC, U of Toronto (would need merit). Maybe Waterloo, Queen’s, UWO.

UC / CSU system: UCLA, UCB, UCI, UCSD, UCSB, UCD, Cal Poly SLO. Maybe UCSC, UCR, SDSU, CPP.

Other US schools: Oregon State, CU Boulder, UW Seattle, Purdue, Pitt, UMN Twin Cities, Penn State, UIUC, USC (would need merit). Maybe Northeastern (would need merit), BU (would need merit), Drexel, DePaul, still learning about some other schools.
