Did you check out The Grad Cafe forum? They have forums for each study so posting there may be helpful. I thought the answers that you got from your post in January were very good.

I think it is virtually impossible to tell you what schools are safeties/matches/reaches because from what I understand there are more applications & less openings at a lot of the schools & it will probably remain this way for at least a couple of years. You also have to remember that people with perfect scores, etc. aren’t always admitted to any school they applied to either. I really suggest talking to your current profs & ask them were they think you should apply. Maybe they have contacts.

Good luck!
