Thank you! I realize the state schools but a lot of them are "OOS friendly". Do you suggest any specific private ones?too many state schools and too few privates...

Stony Brook has a much lower OOS acceptance rate (per ADEA guide)Why buffalo but not stony brook?
Should be fine. I applied to a similar amount of OOS friendly schools and it turned out to be a waste of a rent payment in feesMost of the schools on my list that are public have the highest OOS acceptance (using ADEA guide), but I know what you mean. I ended up adding UNE and that is a private. I have 10 private schools on my list now, I think that is good enough?
I would love to save money and apply to least possible, but with my scores I think I need to apply to all (money not issue though). What do you think? All schools on my list I can see myself going to
