Penn State vs Temple vs Northwestern (520, 3.9+)

[Bananako]

Hello,

I am thinking of adding one more school to my list and I was deciding between Penn State, Temple, and Northwestern.
I might add all three if I end up having time and money, but if I can only add one, I was wondering which one I should add.
Between Penn State and Temple, Penn State seems to be more in line with my stats but seems less OOS friendly than Temple? I am not quite sure.
I am not sure if adding Northwestern instead of the other two would be good since I feel like my current list already has a number of reach schools.

Penn State and Temple are more likely to resource protect you out. Ditto GWU, Netter and Seton Hall

Go Northwestern.

Northwestern.


I would also replace some of the schools on your list such as Hackensack, Quinnipiac with schools that are more aligned with your application, such as: Sinai, Case Western, UChicago etc.
