If you let us know how much “whatever” budget is and what you’re interested in (besides prestige via USNWR) that might help us in suggesting schools with likelier chances of admission where you would be happy spending your college years. You could feasibly get into all the schools on your list; the chances of that happening are quite slim. The chances are greater that you would be shut out.

There was an applicant posting here a couple of months ago with an amazing profile…who had rejections from Penn State and similar schools. Turns out, the student had an application strategy very similar to yours and was sure they’d get in somewhere and then was scrambling at the last minute and being given deferrals and rejections at schools that would have been a lock for admissions had the application been submitted many months earlier. Please don’t let that end up being you.
