Welcome to the forums.

Have you contacted the admissions teams at the schools on your list? You don't list a state of residence; how friendly are these programs to out-of-state applicants? Why these schools?

I have contacted most of the admissions teams. I am a Wisconsin resident but they are all friendly to out of state or have reciprocity with Wisconsin. I like the public universities because of the lower prices, I like some of the locations because they are near the mountains, and I have so many other reasons.
