HYPSM + Chicago

You have a very strong background but almost all of your schools are reaches for any unhooked applicant. I suggest you work to create a more reasonable college list that includes a better mix of reach, match, and safety schools that appear affordable (find out your parents’ budget and run the net price calculator for each school) and that you would be happy to attend. The people I see who get hurt by the college admission process are the ones who focus on the hyper-competitive schools and then don’t get in. Cast a wider net.
