Congrats on all your hard work and success in high school!
Have you visited any of these colleges or will you be able to? You’re right to recognize this is a pretty diverse set of schools.
I’d suggest reading the Fiske Guide to college descriptions of these campuses to help you narrow the list a bit. It’s an expensive book – you may want to get it at your school or local library.
I suggest you narrow to about 8 reaches, 2 matches and 2 safeties (or even 1 if you know you’d attend.) Your safety should be a school where you know you’ll get the admit Fall of your senior year and can afford to attend.
Matches are hard to find for a high stats student like yourself b/c you are going to be at or above 75 percentile for almost all schools.
For the private colleges like Case Western, for example, they will want you to demonstrate interest by visiting (if possible), requesting interview, clicking on their emails, etc.
Are you an URM, by chance? If so, you may want to apply to a diversity fly in program to visit some of the colleges you’re most intrigued by.
It’s going to be very hard to get top private schools down to $10k max unless that’s your EFC. I would expect to pay whatever the NPC says unless you’re willing to go to less selective colleges.
Is weather a factor? Narrowing by cold vs. warm/moderate is one way to winnow the list!
