Looks fine

I would look at adding a few more. CWRU, Pitt, UVA and Ohio St were the first 4 that came to mind for me worth consideration that would be good additions

I would put a couple of lower tier schools on there just to see if you'll get interviews, and if you get an early acceptance, you'll be a bit calmer. Jefferson, Temple, Loyola, and Rush would all be good in those positions.

Also, think about location. For example, do you want to be in the middle of nowhere? If no, Dartmouth might not be a great choice.

Nice stats, list is not too top-heavy, but I'd add more schools also.

Nah I think your list is fine as it is. If I had to suggest trimming it, then remove BU (low-yield), Brown(very heavy on their undergrads), Dartmouth (favors non-trads).

 

[Bumblenest]

Thanks guys!! I think I will add CWRS and Temple, taking out SUNY downstate, seeing as how it has a strong in-state bias. any other thoughts are welcome

You're golden. Nothing wrong with aiming high.

I would replace Brown with SUNY SB, and also consider U IA, Baylor, Vandy, Emory, BU, U VA, U AZ, U Miami, Jefferson, Hofstra and or Tulane
