So far I have:
All of the UCs (these may be reaches but since I live in CA...why not...)
Albany

Rosland Franklin
Georgetown
Loyola
New York Med

Temple
Buffalo State
St. Louis Missouri
Stony Brook
Temple
Univ of Toledo
U of Central Flordia
U of Cincinnati
U of Illinois
U of Maryland
U of Miami

Any advice on what to cut would be much appreciated. Thank you! :)

If I had to cut some they would be buffalo, stony brook, ucf, Toledo, Maryland, Nevada. I think this list is good with your stats.
 
From what I have researched, I don't believe an 8 will be a problem.

I like your list along with the suggestions that others have presented.

Good work and good luck
