I would really like help with my school list including ideas for schools I don’t have on here and thoughts on these. Here is what I’m thinking so far:

University of Cincinnati
Ohio State University
Case Western
Northwestern
University of Michigan
Michigan State
Indiana University
Mayo
Harvard
Stanford
Yale
Hopkins
NYU
Washington University St. Louis
Loma Linda (I’m Seventh-Day Adventist)

Thank you so very much for your time!

Your list is good but add your other Ohio schools (Toledo and Wright State) as "safeties".
Thank you! Do you think I have too many "reaches" on there?
