Columbia, Cornell, Mayo and Duke are far reaches. You could add Hofstra, Quinnipiac, Temple, Penn State, Oakland Beaumont, Western Michigan, Rosalind Franklin and St. Louis.

 

[GrapesofRath]

Mayo is worth an application. Any New York school outside of perhaps Columbia or Cornell I think is worth an application(and even out of those two it's definitely not crazy to apply to Cornell with your stats). I would remove Dartmouth(too much emphasis on non traditionals), Brown(favors their own), GW and Georgetown(too many applications) and yes you are kind of stretching your luck with Columbia, Duke, and Pitt with a 31 but if you want to apply to some reaches with your stats those aren't horrible choices.

If you want other options for higher tier schools that aren't as big a reach as Columbia/Duke/Pitt consider these
Case Western
Emory
Ohio State
USC
Miami
Cincinnati
Maryland
