3.55 cGPA, 3.4 sGPA, ORM Is 23 schools enough to apply to?

[LuluLovesMe]

I posted a WAMC a few days ago, but I am just finalizing my schools list and I would appreciate your opinions again. Did I apply to enough schools to get in somewhere? Did I apply to too many reaches or too many low matches?

Your list looks very, very good. I think you can delete Penn state and Netter.

Thanks again! I spent a lot of time crunching MSAR acceptance stats in my excel spreadsheet. I'll let you know how things go as I apply this year!

Add Ohio State and Cincinnati. They take a lotta out of state students for state schools.

You think I need to apply to more schools?

My bad, I thought you were asking for some more school suggestions...I should probably read these things a little more closely before I post. I don't think you need to apply to more schools. List looks good to me.
