Hey everyone!
SDN has been very dear to me for the past two years as I've read a lot of good advice but never posted. I'm submitting my primary next week and would like some extra feedback on my school list! I believe I have a stacked app with a slight weakness on the GPA end. I'm on FAP and do not want to do more than 20 schools.

Current list:
Crapshoots (10): Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, Harvard, Hopkins, Penn, Stanford, UCSF, Yale
Realistic (5): NYU, Northwestern, UMD, UVA, UCLA
Low-yield (3): BU, Georgetown, Stony Brook (I have reasons for choosing them, though)
I've been told I'll be fine with this top-heavy list, but I know my GPA is not great for some of these places and I'm not sure how much my ECs will help out there!
