…and if that leaves Chicago and Cornell, well, you can’t make a wrong choice.

Academically, all four are great. And if you change your mind (and major), well, all four have a great many programs that are top-shelf. So the “save!” factor is high.

But you definitely would want to add some matches and at least one safety, because Chicago and Cornell are hard for everyone to get into, while Michigan and Cal are tough in OOS admissions. The matches and safety should be schools you like - or at least wouldn’t mind attending - and can afford.
