Please help with my list!

<p>Hi! I’m applying Early Decision to William and Mary, so there’s a chance I won’t have to resort to this list. Still, I’d like to know that it’s reasonable because out-of-state for W&M is so unpredictable and I don’t want to be in a mad rush to get applications in if I get rejected or deferred. Please help me even out my list to find more targets/safeties! Thanks :)</p>

<p>how about at least applying to your state’s flagship state university.</p>

<p>Also, to be safe, add some geographic diversity to your list.</p>

<p>midwestern and more southern schools are probably a bit easier to get into.</p>
