Do yourself a favor and add at least a couple of safeties.

Lol, I have more or less the same list as you do, plus a couple of state schools. 😉

Well, it depends. How much of a shoo-in are you at Hawaii? Where do you peg your chances of admission there? 50 percent? 75 percent? Or damn near 100 percent?

Nonetheless, do yourself a favor and put down at least 2 more unranked / low tier schools, just in case...consider EVMS, or maybe NYMC, or SLU...there are others...
