Schools,

Right now I am only applying to cornell (I know its a massive reach), but where else do you think i should apply too. I am willing to have a much more “aggressive” application set up, and would preferably want to reside outside of the Southeast. There is no real “good” instate school that justifies me transferring within my state imho.
