I just want to know if my list is too top heavy and if I am leaving myself with the chance of having absolutely no acceptances when I apply. I really enjoy working with children/teaching and also enjoy the process of research as well and I could definitely write a strong PS as well as strong LORs. I am thinking of taking a gap year(Fulbright) so applying abroad could be a problem too.
Do you all have any advice about my situation?
Thanks.
