<p>You have a great mix of schools. A variety of sizes and locations. A mix of universities and LAC’s. A mix of reaches, matches and safeties. I don’t see any reason to add to the list. If you can narrow your focus, you may want to trim down your existing list.</p>

<p>Chop that list in half!!!</p>

<p>haha OHKID, my parents would never let me do that</p>

<p>rep ipsa, which school are matches? I feel like I have a few safeties, but almost every school on my list is a reach…</p>

<p>Just a guess. None of the Reaches are out of the question. Wesleyan, Midd and Vasser are probably the biggest reaches.</p>

<p>University Of Michigan - Reach
Boston College - Match
Syracuse University - Match
Rochester University - Safety
Carleton College - Match
Macalester College - Match
