Remove: Loma Linda (weird lifestyle commitment), Brown (hard unless you're an ungrad there), Howard (HBC I think?), Morehouse (HBC I think?), Uniformed Services (must be committed to military residency/service), Tufts (CoA is absurd), U Washington (heavy IS bias I think?)

Someone might want to check on the HBCs for me, but I think your list looks good if you remove ^^ those ^^ schools.

I'd get rid of the 2 UTexas and U Washington. They have severe in state bias.
