Thank you so much for this list. I ended up using all of it to apply!! And added 5-6 more schools that I really liked as well

I will add that some of these schools have a regional bias. I am from Florida and I was rejected rather quickly to some of the OOS schools. However my stats were so low that I needed to apply to any that would even look at my application. Good luck!
